windrose: Wind analysis

In metno/esd: Climate analysis and empirical-statistical downscaling (ESD) package for monthly and daily data

Wind analysis

Description

A function that plots windroses from station objects which contain both the zonal and meridional components. These are stored seperately as if they were two different station records.

Usage

windrose(
  x,
  saw = 10,
  max.scale = NULL,
  main = NULL,
  cols = c("grey90", "yellow", "green", "red", "blue", "darkgreen", "darkred", "magenta",
    "black"),
  param = c("u", "v"),
  simple = TRUE,
  verbose = FALSE
)

Arguments

x	station object
saw	Directional resolution in degrees
max.scale	scaling factor for windrose
main	main title
cols	a vector defining colors for plot
param	Name of the variables representing zonal and meridional wind
simple	Only plot the windrose, not an additional historgram for windspeed
verbose	if TRUE print information about progress
