Lambert's formula
A formula for computing the mean wind-direction from a series of observations.
It may be written where α is the mean wind direction, and each point of the compass is replaced by the number of observations of wind from that direction.
Compare resultant wind, wind rose, prevailing wind direction.
Compare resultant wind, wind rose, prevailing wind direction.
