Saturna Island wind directions
Description
A dataset consisting of 239 observations on wind direction in radians (original measurements were in 10s of degrees), measured at Saturna Island, British Columbia, Canada during October 1-10, 2016 (obtained from Environment Canada website). There was a severe storm during October 4-7, which caused significant fluctuations among the wind directions. As a result the angular data show a clear multimodality.
