> Hello,
> 
> I am trying to plot the hourly standard deviation of wind speeds from
> 13 different measured locations over many years. I imported the data
> using readLines and into a dataframe called finalData. Using tapply, I
> determined the standard deviation of the windspeed (ws) for each hour
> (hour) from every location (stn) using this command line:
> 
> statHour = tapply(finalData$ws,list(finalData$stn,finalData$hour),sd)
> 
> I want to plot the standard deviation for each hour of the day, with
> hours as the x-axis and the standard deviation for the y-axis, and
> each station as a different color.  I've managed to get a boxplot of
> this, but ideally, I'd like a scatter plot to determine the variations
> between each instrument throughout the day.  The boxplot command is
> this:
> 
> boxplot(statHour, names=colnames(statHour),xlab='Hour of the
> Day',ylab='Standard Deviation of Wind Speed')
> 
> I also tried to make a dataframe of the tapply output but it ends up
> using the hours as the column names instead of putting it into the
> dataframe.  Please help!!

> I have R version 3.1.1
