The subroutine for computing WWND from the divergence is [your HYSPLIT dir]/library/hysplit/metdiv.f.
You may consider using vmixing.f (which extract meteorological stability parameters) to add WWND in the extraction. It is [your HYSPLIT dir]/source/vmixing.f

You can use the "profile" program to extract the vertical wind (WWND) from the ARL formatted file for a location with given lat/long.
For running with command lines => [your HYSPLIT directory]/exec/profile.
