Hi List, I am trying to create a spatial representation of some wind data. I have the season, frequency, strength and direction of the wind from 10 different locations, the coverage of the area that I am interested in is not 100% there are small gaps in my coverage due to the location of the weather stations. I am trying to create a series of wind maps e.g. the Prevailing Winds, the maximum seasonal wind, etc. Could any body recommend any R-packages that would cover this type problem/issue? xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Any views expressed in this message are those of the individual sender, except where the sender specifically states them to be the views of the Pinan Software
Hi:
Try this:
library(sos) # install first if you don't have it
findFn('wind rose')
You'll find there are several packages with functions to produce wind rose
plots.
HTH,
Dennis

That might be a job for a circular plotting routine (e.g. polar.plot) rather than a wind rose. Jim
