Wind data #28

Closed kurtisanstey closed 3 years ago

kurtisanstey commented 3 years ago

Obtained data from DFO Neah Bay (station 46206) for relevant years.

kurtisanstey commented 3 years ago

This plot was smoothed incorrectly (0 to 360 don't average properly).

Don't smooth the angles, smooth the vectors.
Use complex numbers (careful of direction coordinates).

kurtisanstey commented 3 years ago

Wind data now smoothed with complex vectors; more appropriate for direction. Will use to compare with seasonality in depth-band and spectrogram plots. There are significant data gaps in 2014 and 2018, but 2013 and 2017 are good for comparison.
