Windrose (speed/direction) diagram of a station over a time period

Description

Plot a windrose showing the wind speed and direction for a station over a time period.

Usage

windrose_period(
  station,
  start = 2000,
  end = 2010,
  n_directions = 8,
  n_speeds = 5,
  speed_cuts = NA,
  col_pal = "GnBu",
  calm_wind = 0,
  legend_title = "Wind Speed (m/s)",
  verbose = FALSE
)

Arguments

station	Character string with station identifier code(s) (see aemet_stations()) or "all" for all the stations.
start	Numeric value as start year (format: YYYY).
end	Numeric value as end year (format: YYYY).
n_directions	Numeric value as the number of direction bins to plot (petals on the rose). The number of directions defaults to 8.
n_speeds	Numeric value as the number of equally spaced wind speed bins to plot. This is used if speed_cuts is NA (default 5).
speed_cuts	Numeric vector containing the cut points for the wind speed intervals, or NA (default).
col_pal	Character string indicating the name of the hcl.pals() color palette to be used for plotting.
calm_wind	Numeric value as the upper limit for wind speed that is considered calm (default 0).
legend_title	Character string to be used for the legend title.
verbose	Logical TRUE/FALSE. Provides information about the flow of information between the client and server.
