Windrose


A windrose is a type of projection that shows both the average wind direction of a place but also the average speed. As you can see from this Windrose of Seattle a large majority of the wind in Seattly blows southernly. This was found on the UW meterology website. http://www.climate.washington.edu/windrose/Seattle-WindRose.jpg
