calculate the average wind intensities

I know the components of the wind u, v, z of several years. how can I calculate the average wind intensities in this time period?

hello

you need to compute the magnitude of your 3 components vector (and plot it against time)

mag =sqrt(u.^2 + v.^2 + w.^2)

[ELISABETTA BILLOTTA]

so you say to calculate mag as you wrote me and then graph with mag on the x axis and time on the y axis?

in the meantime, thanks for the answer

hello

I would have plotted time on the x axis and mag on the y axis

all the best
