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.
