as.windrose: Create a Windrose Object

Description

Create a wind-rose object, typically for plotting with plot,windrose-method.

Usage

as.windrose(x, y, dtheta = 15, debug = getOption("oceDebug"))

Arguments

x

The x component of wind speed (or stress) or an object of class met (see met-class), in which case the u and v components of that object are used for the components of wind speed, and y here is ignored.

y

The y component of wind speed (or stress).

dtheta

The angle increment (in degrees) within which to classify the data.

debug

A flag that turns on debugging. Set to 1 to get a moderate amount of debugging information, or to 2 to get more.

Value

An object of windrose-class that contains the standard oce slots named data, metadata and proxessingLog. The data slot contains

n

the number of x values

x.mean

the mean of the x values

y.mean

the mean of the y values

theta

the central angle (in degrees) for the class

count

the number of observations in this class

mean

the mean of the observations in this class

fivenum

the fivenum vector for observations in this class (the min, the lower hinge, the median, the upper hinge, and the max)
