Understanding Wind Roses: A Guide by James Payne, Morongo Band of Mission Indians

This document provides an insightful overview of wind roses, as presented by James Payne from the Environmental Department of the Morongo Band of Mission Indians. Wind roses are crucial for showing the distribution of wind speed and direction from a specific location in a circular format. They illustrate the frequency of winds blowing from designated cardinal directions, typically utilizing 16 or even 32 directions. This guide draws on reputable sources such as the US EPA and Lakes Environmental, highlighting practical applications and tools for analyzing wind data.

  2. Windrose defined • Shows distribution of wind speed & wind direction from one location • Presented in a circular format, the wind rose shows the frequency of winds blowing usually from particular directions. • Each "spoke" around the circle is related to the frequency that the wind blows from a particular direction per unit time. • Wind roses typically use 16 cardinal directions, such as north (N), NNE, NE, etc., although they may be subdivided into as many as 32 directions. • Source: Wikipedia

  3. Sources for wind roses • US EPA - WRPLOT (DOS-interface) • Lakes Environmental: WRPLOT-View (Windows-interface) http://www.weblakes.com/ • Some dataloggers have windrose capabilities in their proprietary software • Climatronics • Campbell Scientific • MetOne
