Windrose Plots and Air Direction

You will see four graphs from the Middle Ga Regional Airport in Macon, GA. Each graph depicts each season in 1992. There is also a 1992 Windrose superimposed onto an image of the airport. I used the overall Windrose from that year for an average. I wanted the other Windrose plots to be large and clear, so I have each separate.



Sun Lab Results 02/12/14

The sun lab required setting up a table. To set up this table, I had to go outside and take measurements with a pole of a known length.  Then, I took the measurements of the shadow and used a compass to find the direction of the sun. After calculating the Tangent of the measurements, I had the numbers necessary to fill out the radial chart. Included in this post are my supporting documents.
