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. / Graduation date: 1971
