Windrose

A windrose is a graphical tool utilized by meteorologists to depict how wind speed and direction are distributed at a specific location. It will show the frequency of winds blowing from certain directions. Each concentric circle stands for a different frequency which starts at zero in the center and increases in frequency in the outer circles. This windrose above shows the speed of wind and its directions.
