Dear all,

I would like to determine the correlation in time of a time series of
wind direction measurements. Is it possible to use the circular
correlation coefficient on a time series of a single variable as
described by Fisher for determining the correlation at a certain lag?
Statistical analysis of circular data, 1993)
Help and suggestions on how to determine the correlation in wind
direction measurements are welcome!

Thanx in advance

Tim
