A wind rose is a tool used to determine the distribution of wind speed and direction for a given location. They are always in circular form and depict every direction. This wind rose example does not say what location the data is from, but one can easily assume that wind was coming from the southeast a majority of the month at a wide variety of speeds.http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.nws.noaa.gov/mdl/pgb/AvnFPS/3.2/html/images/cli-new4.png&imgrefurl=http://www.nws.noaa.gov/mdl/pgb/AvnFPS/3.2/html/climate-new.html&usg=__nnlpXgQqBxWubOR5dhuS04KZHX4=&h=574&w=532&sz=188&hl=en&start=18&um=1&itbs=1&tbnid=FG2VO8Ng48yg-M:&tbnh=134&tbnw=124&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dwind%2Brose%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26gbv%3D2%26tbs%3Disch:1
