the location where the wind speed and direction readings were taken, and.Two important pieces of information that should always be on a wind rose are: To be useful a wind rose needs more information than that shown on the circular frequency distribution.
Some wind roses carry further information by using colour codes on each spoke to represent different speed ranges with the frequency represented by the length of banding on the spoke. The centre of the rose represents a frequency of zero. The frequency scale is usually shown as concentric circles, based on the centre of the rose, getting further from the centre with increasing frequency. The length of each bar or spoke shown in the circle represents the frequency of time that the wind blows from the direction it is pointing to. The compass directions are usually indicated around the outside of the rose, such as north (N), NNE, NE, ENE, E and on round to N. But they can be used to show much more detail than just the prevailing winds.Ī wind rose is usually shown in a circular pattern and shows the frequency of winds blowing from different directions. A simple description of a wind rose might be that it shows a graphical representation of the direction the wind blows from at a given location over a given period of time - the direction of the prevailing winds.
