An automated meteorological station records hourly wind directions. During stable weather conditions, this results in highly repetitive sequences of data (for example, multiple consecutive hours of 'East').
Explain how Run-Length Encoding (RLE) compresses this wind direction data. You must include a specific example based on wind directions showing the sequence before and after compression.
