Barb,

Here is a nice description that John wrote about the output. I  
apparently neglected to include it in the new documentation. Thank you  
for catching the omission.

1. For the “ROW_MEAN_WDIR” line, each of the input VL1L2 lines is  
treated separately and given equal weight.  The mean forecast wind  
direction, mean observation wind direction, and the associated error  
are computed for each of these lines.  Then the means are computed  
across all of these forecast wind directions, observation wind  
directions, and their errors.



2. For the “AGGR_WDIR” line, the input VL1L2 lines are first  
aggregated into a single line of partial sums where the weight for  
each line is determined by the number of points it represents.  From  
this aggregated line, the mean forecast wind direction, observation  
wind direction, and the associated error are computed and written out.
