Plot the wind direction for U10 variable

Hi,all! I output the 10m wind speed by using U10 variable. Also, I output the TAUX and TAUY(Zonal surface stress) .

TAUX and TAUY do not seem to be the U,V variables needed to plot wind direction. UBOT and VBOT seem to be the corresponding variables, but for heights higher than 10 m.

Is there a variable in CESM that outputs wind direction directly? Or how to plot the direction of U10?

Question:
  1. Is there a variable in CESM that outputs wind direction directly?
  2. How to plot the direction of U10?
  3. How do I explain meridional and latitudinal winds, if I use TAUX and TAUY
