ON DEFINING AND COMPUTING THE MEAN AND THE STANDARD DEVIATION FOR WIND DIRECTIONS

Abstract

The possibility of using wind direction data without conversion into components was investigated, and the mean value and the standard deviation data were computed. A program is described for the methods of solution and is demonstrated by using wind data for Washington, D. C., as an example. (Author)
