Windrose Map



http://vistadatavision.com/reports/wind-rose/

Above is an example of a Wind Rose map type, this is a graphic tool that is most commonly used by meteorologists to provide data on wind speed and direction.  This concept is derived from the historical compass rose that is found on a map that provides cardinal direction.  Wind rose's are useful and easy to entertain by meteorologists by using color bands showing wind ranges.
