Wind rose

Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-012704

A graphical representation showing the distribution of wind speed and direction at a particular location over a specific period. It displays the frequency of winds blowing from different directions, often divided into sectors, and sometimes includes wind speed categories. The length of each spoke indicates the frequency of wind from that direction, with concentric circles representing frequency percentages.
