A Windrose is a graphic used to show the distribution of wind speed and wind direction of a certain location. The direction of the wind is shown by cardinal orientation and the speed is shown by the length of the band or by the use of color. These maps are mostly used by meteorologists, but could also come in handy to air traffic control men and pilots. The map above is a Windrose for an unknown location and shows that winds are blowing strongest from the Northeast.
