\name{bin.wind.records}
\alias{bin.wind.records}
\title{Classify wind direction and speed records}
\description{Classifies wind direction and speed records into a matrix of
percentages of observations in speed and direction bins.}
\usage{
bin.wind.records(winddir,windspeed,ndir=8,radians=FALSE,
speed.breaks=c(0,10,20,30))
}
\arguments{
\item{winddir}{A vector of wind directions.}
\item{windspeed}{A vector of wind speeds corresponding to the above
directions.}
\item{ndir}{Number of direction bins in a compass circle.}
\item{radians}{Whether wind directions are in radians.}
\item{speed.breaks}{Minimum wind speed for each speed bin.}
}
\details{
\samp{bin.wind.records} bins a number of wind direction and speed
records into a matrix of percentages of observations that can be used to
display a cumulative wind rose with \samp{oz.windrose} The defaults are those
used by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology.
}
\value{
A matrix of percentages in which the rows represent wind speed categories and
the columns represent wind direction categories.
