Wind Rose


source: http://www.climate.washington.edu/climate.html

A wind rose depicts the wind direction, speed, and frequency at a particular location. Wind direction is demonstrated by which direction each "spoke" points in; speed is associated with defined colors; frequency is demonstrated by the length of the spokes (long = frequent). The "resultant vector" is basically the average.
