In jylhaisi/post-processing-mos-point-utils: Useful functions for MOS point forecasts

Description

This function calculates the smallest difference between two circularly defined values. Examples from circular variables are (azimuth angle, hour of the day, day of the year)

Usage

circular_variable_difference(value1,value2,values_in_full_circle)

Arguments

value1	value which is compared against the other value
value2	value which the first value is compared against
values_in_full_circle	maximum value for value1 and value2

Details

Function call (circular_variable_difference(10,350,360)) gives 20 degrees as the result: 10 degrees is 20 degrees more compared to 350 degrees, not 340 degrees less.

Value

smallest difference for the value1 compared against value2
