Windrose

A Windrose is a map diagram that is used to determine the air pressure velocity distribution for specific area. It is commonly used by meterologist to show wind frequency and strength. This Windrose has color-coded bands that are divided into increments of two to show wind speed ranges and seven circular lines that represent different frequencies.
