| as.windrose {oce} | R Documentation |
Create a wind-rose object, typically for plotting with plot.windrose().
as.windrose(x, y, dtheta = 15)
x |
the x component of wind speed (or stress). |
y |
the y component of wind speed (or stress). |
dtheta |
the angle increment (in degrees) within which to classify the data |
This is analagous to a histogram, but with breaks being angles.
An object of class "windrose",
which is a list containing the following items
data |
a list containing
nx.meany.meanthetacountmeanfivenumfivenum vector for observations in
this class (the min, the lower hinge, the median, the upper hinge, and
the max) |
metadata |
a list containing dtheta, the size of the
angle category, in degrees |
processing.log |
a processing log, in the standard oce format. |

Use plot.windrose to produce a summary plot, and
summary.windrose to produce a numerical summary.
