Estimates Bearing Conidia Dispersed by Wind Driven Rain
wind_angle.Rdwind_angle() samples from normal distribution to estimate the bearing of
spore or conidia dispersal wind.
Arguments
- mean_wind_direction
A numeric vector representing mean wind direction at a particular time interval
- stdev_wind_direction
Refer to standard deviation of wind_direction at a particular time interval
- PSPH
A numeric vector, estimated from
.estimate_spore_discharge()- min_stdev
the minimum possible standard deviation of wind direction permitted. This should reflect the turbulent effect of wind movements to prevent std deviations of near zero when wind direction is averaged.
Value
A numeric vector giving information on the angle component of conidia dispersed by wind driven rain.

wind_angle(10, 2) # returns a single estimate

wind_angle(10, 2, PSPH = 10) # returns 10 estimates

#> [8] 12.437101 8.601366 9.429134
wind_angle(15, 2, PSPH = c(5, 5)) # returns 10 estimates
