I have U and V wind over a specific domain for 5 timesteps.
How do I calculate radial and tangential wind component out of U and V winds.

Wouldn't it just be the usual trig formulas? Untested code:
rComponent = sqrt(dU.^2+dV.^2);
angularComponent = atand2d(dV, dU);
Where dU and dV are the instantaneous/delta U and V from the prior image.
Or you can use optical flow perhaps.
