Average wind direction and speed computation

159 Views Asked by At

I am trying to compute the average wind direction and speed based on several data of direction and speed given by my weather station. I am following this algorithm, however, I don't understand what the author means by the below:

In this Case the reported North/South Vector is reversed. When you are calculating the averages you will have to reverse the radians by *-1.

Any ideas what they mean ?

Thanks in advance
