winds10m: Calculate the 10-m winds for a vector of wind speed...

In bhlmn/WindVerification: R package to process and verify wind forecasts from weather models

Description

This function will return the 10-m winds given vectors of wind observations (wind speed and direction), a vector containing the high end of the wind direction bins, the roughness lengths associated with each wind direction bins, and the measurement height of the wind observations.

Usage

winds10m(bins, z0, wspds, wdirs, zm, zref = 10, inunits = "m/s",
  outunits = "m/s", to.na = TRUE, missing = -99999)

Arguments

bins	vector containing the cutoffs of the wind direction bins
z0	vector containing the roughness lengths associated with each wind direction bin
wspds	vector containing the wind speed observations
wdirs	vector containing the wind direction observations
zm	the measurement height for wind speed observations (in m)
zref	the reference height (the height we want to estimate the winds), defaults to 10-m
inunits	units for the wind observations, "m/s" (default), "mph", "knots"
outunits	desired units for the potential winds, "m/s" (default), "mph", "knots"
to.na	turn large values to NA (default = TRUE)
missing	specify missing value (if to.na = FALSE)

Examples

# convert from mph to m/s
winds10m(bins, z0, wspd, wdir, zm, inunits = "mph")
