Windrose

 
A wind rose is a graphic tool used by meteorologist to view wind speed and direction and see how they are distributed at a particular area. Wind roses are said to be what was used mainly before compasses came into the world. The wind rose above is from LaGuardia airport in NY. We can see from the legend and colors, that the more the bars come out the stronger the wind speed is in that direction.
