Martin and Tikvart (1968) developed a computer programme called STAR (STability ARray) which generated frequencies and percentage frequencies of wind direction by speed class for each stability category. This system has been found to give a good "first approximation" of the stability (instability) of the atmosphere where no low-level temperature and wind profile data exist. The STAR programme is available at the Atmospheric Environment Service and can be executed in a number of ways.
