This image is an example of a Wind Rose, which is a type of geovisualization in the form of a circular plot. The winds are displayed in a form of concentric wedges, split into segments reflecting wind speed. The area of each segment is proportional to the total time of wind falling into specific speed/direction category.
This Wind Rose was produced by NOAA’s National Weather Service Weather Forecast office for Springfield, Missouri. In particular, it shows the average Wind Direction for Springfield in the month of March.
