[R] PCA of vectors

[Laura Quinn]

Hello,

Is it possible to perform PCA using princomp or prcomp on two-component
wind data - ie wind vectors? If not, is anyone able to advise on a
suitable methodology for acheiving this? My data is a time series of
observations taken at different locations.

Thank you in advance for any hints!
