Wind Rose

A wind rose is used by meteorologists to follow wind speed and direction for a certain area. A polar coordinate system is used to plot and the spoke of the rose that extends the farthest out shows the most commonly occurring direction. This wind rose shows the wind direction and speed averages for Fresno, CA over a 30-year period.
