Windrose

This is a great example of a windrose diagram from Maine.gov. This type of graph shows the direction for the winds and how fast the gusts can be in that direction. Windrose graphs are a favorite graph to examine and like at. Information presented can be so vital to so many people who depend on a constant wind like the Engineers at a wind power plant. A captain of a sea sailing vessel may need it to understand the constant wind velocities.
