a graphical representation of the wind speed and wind direction for a set of given dates at a particular location
Star-shaped, multi-pointed decorative design showing the directions of the wind. Later adapted to become a compass rose.
Diagram showing the distribution of wind speed with wind direction
Any one of a class of diagrams designed to show the distribution of wind direction experienced at a given location over a considerable period; it thus shows the prevailing wind direction. The most common form consists of a circle from which eight or sixteen lines emanate, one for each compass point. The length of each line is proportional to the frequency of wind from that direction, and the frequency of calm conditions is entered in the center. Many variations exist; some indicate the range of wind speeds from each direction; some relate wind directions with other weather occurrences.
a diagram usually shown on pilot charts that indicates the frequency and intensity of wind from different directions for a particular place.
A diagram for a given location showing relative frequency and velocity of wind from all compass directions.
A flower-like diagram indicating the relative frequencies of different wind directions for a given station and period of time.
type of compass rose, where the directions are indicated by the names or initials of the traditional winds of the Mediterranean. May also refer to a whole instrument serving only to indicate the names of the wind directions.
A diagram that indicates the average percentage of time that the wind blows from different directions, on a monthly or annual basis.
