Starting with vector or wind barb plan displays, you can switch to a streamline display using the wind display Control. Make sure the skip interval is zero to see the best streamlines. The Control also allows you to change size and color of the vectors and barbs, skip data points to declutter the display, change the level of plan views, toggle visibility, and remove the display.
