Windrose


Windrose diagrams are used to show wind speed and wind direction over an extended period of time. The circle is usually divided into 16 slices, each representing a different direction. How far each arm extends out is dependent on the frequency that windspeed occurred. One the windrose above, the different colors represent different intervals of windspeed. In this windrose, actual windspeed data is compared to computer generated data.
