Garden with Insight v1.0 Help: Weather next day functions: generate today's mean wind speed


This function generates a wind speed for today.

If the "simulated" option for wind speed is chosen: A value is randomly selected from a modified exponential distribution. The modified exponential distribution looks something like this curve, though it can change somewhat with different parameters.

If the "always 0.0" option for wind speed is chosen: There is no wind today. If the "smoothed" option for wind speed is chosen: The wind speed is set at the smoothed long-term average. If the "unchanging" option for wind speed is chosen: The wind speed stays the same as it was yesterday.
