Significant additions to this wiki over the last two days. Added actual algorithm and link to original journal article by Yamartino. Also added links to this article on the wiki for wind direction and standard deviation. Gouveia2 17:28, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Comment

There seems to be no link or reference for exactly what quantity this method is trying to find an approximation for. That is, define what the "true" value of σ_θ should be. The link to standard deviation does not mention angular variables, and the wind direction link does not mention standard deviation. Melcombe (talk) 09:43, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Yamartino's original article uses the two-pass method (his Eq. 1) as "the correctly determined value of σ_θ". Are you saying this isn't enough of a reference? Maybe you're right.

The wiki article does link to standard deviation. Isn't this enough?

Wind direction does have a link to Yamartino method. Maybe this should be expanded? Gouveia2 (talk) 16:39, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
