One of our customers who does not have access to e-mail network asked us to send his question to S-news group. He is a meteorologist and is interested if someone has developed an S-PLUS function to create a WIND ROSE plot. Wind Rose is a diagram that shows the distribution of wind direction experienced at a given location over a considerable period, it thus shows the prevailing wind direction. The most common form is a polar type plot consisting of a circle from which 16 lines emanate, one for each compass point. The length of each line is proportional to the frequency of the wind from that direction, with the frequency of calm conditions entered in the center. Typically, the plot will also indicate the range of wind speeds from each direction. Please send me your name and number if you would like to help out, and I will forward it to the customer. Thanks for your support. Gordana Butorac Internet: support@statsci.com UUCP: uunet!statsci!support D
