Gap

A gap is a set of one or more missing data points. A data point may be missing because the raw data file did not specify a value for that time step, or because you deleted the value using the Delete Data window.

Note: Windographer can accept any number of gaps in a dataset. Gaps do not prevent Windographer from performing calculations, displaying graphs or tables, or exporting data.

In time series graphs, gaps appear as missing line segments. The example below shows a four-hour gap late in the day on July 14:

In a data coverage chart, gaps appear as blank segments. The example below shows a large gap in the 'Direction 58m' data column in late November and early December, small gaps in all data columns in mid-May, and many smaller gaps in the wind speed data columns:

You can fill gaps using the Reconstruct Single Dataset window and the Reconstruct Across Datasets window.
