Wind Rose Example

HOW DO ONE DRAW A WIND ROS AND what is the function of these wind diagrams?

Barry's Response - Kelvin:

A wind rose is a plot that shows a breakdown of wind speeds and directions gathered at a monitoring site. It is a radial graph with a unique appearance, crudely resembling a flower, thus the name.

If you have the data, software for creating the wind diagrams can be downloaded and run for creating a wind rose for free by submitting an email address at http://www.weblakes.com/

Look down the left and under "downloads" select "WRPLOT View".

A couple of questions
by: Kristy

Barry,

Thanks for posting this. I had a couple of questions.

1) Is a rose diagram for a particular amount of time (for example does it represent the winds over a 24 hour period)?

2) Does straight up represent north on a compass?

Thanks,
Kristy
