Such a Beautiful Rose!

This above picture is the cite where the wind data is collected.

The four diagrams you see above are wind roses courtesy of Lakes Environmental. They all have cardinal directions as well as a color chart used to denote wind speed in Knots. The first and third wind rose are plotted in the direction the wind is blowing from and the second and the fourth are plotted in the direction the wind is blowing to. The first two diagrams are for the day April 25, 1990 while the last two are for the entire month of April during the year 1990.
