Hello,
I am currently working on a research project where I have 9 rain gauges located throughout a farm where I will collect rainfall totals for a calendar year and do statistical analysis and determine the sensitivity of rain gauge measurements.
Here is my problem:
I have a spreadsheet which lists the rain gauge name, wind direction, windspeed, precipitation type, and precipitation amount for each rain event in a row. One thing I would like to do is plot the precipitation totals for specific wind directions (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, and NW). How can I sum the precip totals for each individual storm event based on wind direction? For instance:
Rain Gauge Name Date dir_1 Type_1 Precip_1 Date_1 dir_2 Type_2 Precip_2
RG1 10/3/13 NE Rain 1.02 10/5/13 SE Rain 1.05
and I would like to plot only northeast winds first, then SE...etc..(obviously over the course of a year I will have many precipitation events)
I would like to map windspeed and precipitation type as well, however each gauge will have multiple events so how does one accomplish this task or sort the data?
