Mean Magnitude Wind – This is the vector average of the wind speed which
takes direction into account. Here, the average of 10mph at 0 for 1 hour and
20mph at 90 for 1 hour is 11.2 mph.
Mean Direction Unit – This is the wind direction (in degrees) not weighted for
wind speed. Here, the average of 10mph at 0 with 20mph at 90 is 45. This is
the value you’d get with a simple average of the direction if no 0-360 crossover
occurred.
Mean Direction Wind – This is the wind direction (in degrees) weighted for wind
speed. Here, the average of 10mph at 0 with 20 mph at 90 is 63.4.
STD Speed Scalar – This is the standard deviation of the scalar wind speed.
STD Direction Unit – This is the standard deviation of the direction unit.
STD Direction Wind – This is the standard deviation of the direction wind.
Min Speed Scalar – This is the minimum of the scalar wind speed.
Max Speed Scalar – This is the maximum of the scalar wind speed.
Max Direction – This is the direction taken at the time the max speed is
detected.
Count – This is the number of samples that have been taken.
