Windrose




 
 
 
The Windrose map, usually used by meteorologist, is similar to a compass and gives detailed views of how wind speed and direction are typically dispersed over a particular location. It will show the direction from which the frequency of winds come from. Each concentric circle displays a different frequency, starting at zero in the center and increasing outward.
 
The above image is a Windrose map showing flying site via wind direction from the perspective of the Cumbria Soaring Club (2001-2013).
