Hi!
I have a weather station which measures both the direction and speed of the wind. It is connected to a SCADA system (TSX57xxx + Monitor Pro). Now I have a mathematical problem with calculating the average direction of the wind (my client needs the information for their reports). The problem is that the direction 0 degrees and 360 degrees are the same (the north, as You know...). Let's say that the wind is from the north; if I have e.g. 10 samples and half of them are 360 degrees and the other half are 0 degrees the result is 180 degrees! This is mathematically right result but... you know...it isn't!
Please help, I feel stupid...
