# How can I get average numbers of days wind flow from 16 direction? [closed]

Wind flow from North direction a nos. of days, Similarly from North East b nos. of days, East c nos. of days, South East d nos. of days, South e nos. of days, South West f nos. of days, West g nos. of days, North West h nos. of days.

Then how can I get average numbers of days wind flow from 16 directions ? 16 directions are N,NNE, NE, NEE, E, SEE,SE, SSE,S, SSW,SW, SWW, W, NWW, NW, NNW.

• I don't really understand what you want to do (and what the problem is). Do you have data of wind flows from several days are asking how to average them over time? – ACuriousMind Jul 17 '14 at 10:18
• I have 3 months wind flow data. But only from 8 directions. I have put 16 directions data on Rammet view to get wind rose diagram. Then how can get tentative 16 directions data ? – Nidagha Jul 17 '14 at 10:36

If we know the wind was from the North on $a$ days and from the North-East on $b$ days then there is no way to tell how many days the wind was from the NNE. The best you could do is take data for a long time, e.g. a year, and calculate a statistical correlation between the directions. The trouble is that the climate may change from year to year, so even this wouldn't necessarily be a reliable guide.
