Windrose defined • Shows distribution of wind speed & wind direction from one location • Presented in a circular format, the wind rose shows the frequency of winds blowing usually from particular directions. • Each "spoke" around the circle is related to the frequency that the wind blows from a particular direction per unit time. • Wind roses typically use 16 cardinal directions, such as north (N), NNE, NE, etc., although they may be subdivided into as many as 32 directions. • Source: Wikipedia
