When retrieving sounding data, wind speed and direction are decomposed into u and v components, but are then thrown away. Add them back into the returned data in case users want to calculate average speeds/directions in height bins or other tasks.

The windrose package uses speed/direction, so that's another point in favor of keeping them.
