Windrose



http://www.iit.edu/~ipro307f/project/final.html

A windrose depicts frequencies of windspeed and from which direction they occur at a location. This windrose is based on a data set from the Illinois Institute of Technology carrying out a wind turbine energy generation study in 2003. Winds from the northwest, west and southwest prevail. Their website (link above) explains that along with a wind compass and detailed measurements, the turbine will be placed for maximum efficincy due to strength of the winds and turbine requirements related to flow.
