| Abstract | The data recorded between March 3, 1969, and October 31, 1969, by a wind gauge installed at the South Jetty, Newport, Oregon, were analyzed. The components of each observation were treated as if they were an independent, normal, bivariate distribution and standard statistical procedures were applied. It was found that the wind gauge is obscured by the land to the southeast and that the adjacent land has the effect of channeling the wind so that it comes from the north, the east, and the south. The seasonal and diurnal wind shifts were observed and described. It was noted that the orientation of the diurnal shift changed with time; it rotated clockwise from March to July and counterclockwise from July to October. |
