Wind rose frequency bins calculator

Calculate direction centre, speed-bin index, sample count, percent of all samples table and calm sample share with your own figures.

Your numbers

Use the units shown. Results update as you change valid inputs.

Use direction centre, speed-bin index, sample count, percent of all samples table and calm sample share to compare changes to your inputs. The method and limits below explain the scope.

Calculation method

Calculation method

Direction centre, speed-bin index, sample count, percent of all samples table

Calm speed<threshold excluded from directions. Other samples enter nearest direction sector and first speed bin with speed<upper bound, plus overflow bin.

Calm sample share (%)

Calm speed<threshold excluded from directions. Other samples enter nearest direction sector and first speed bin with speed<upper bound, plus overflow bin.

Observation count

Calm speed<threshold excluded from directions. Other samples enter nearest direction sector and first speed bin with speed<upper bound, plus overflow bin.

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Sample-frequency joint wind rose, not duration-weighted; calm observations remain included in denominator. Supported limits: All required fields must be finite values of the exact declared type and within displayed bounds. Lists contain1–1000 finite numbers. JSON tables are numeric rectangular rows, at most100 rows and30 columns; individual tools have stricter shape/domain constraints. Sample-frequency joint wind rose, not duration-weighted; calm observations remain included in denominator.
