Hi all,
I have a dataset with wind directions at 3-hourly time steps and I would like to calculate daily average wind directions. I am, however, stuck. I got this (with dir = the wind direction in degrees, 0 to 360):
dir = accumarray(ceil((1:numel(dir))/8)',dir(:),[],@mean);
This, however, does not take into account the circular nature of the values. How can I do this?
I attach a small sample of the data (year - month - day - hour - wind direction):

One option would be to ‘decompose’ the angles into their ‘x’ and ‘y’ components, calculate the means of those, and then use atan2 to return the result —
D = [2020 4 1 0 77.0016556593828

meandir = @(a) atan2d(mean(sind(a)),mean(cosd(a)));
dir = accumarray(ceil((1:numel(dir))/8)',dir(:),[],meandir)
dir = wrapTo360(dir) % Mapping Toolbox Function
