Windrose

windrose
A wind rose is a meteorological diagram that depicts the distribution of wind direction and speed at a location over a period of time. These can be very useful when observing weather patterns in an area. The picture above is an image of a wind rose that was constructed using data from a city a Maine. By looking at this image for just a moment you can see that there are predominantly north westerly winds in this particular area.
