Wind Rose Chart provides a visual summary of wind speed and direction at a given location over a defined period of record. Each spoke shows the frequency with which the wind blew from that direction, while bar color represents different wind speed categories.
This template includes a wind rose plot with customizable metadata fields (station name, ID, coordinates, observation counts, and average wind speed), along with a placeholder for an optional site image. It offers a professional, ready-to-use format that makes it easy to highlight prevailing wind patterns and their intensity.
Wind Rose Charts are widely applied in:
-
Meteorology & Climatology – analyzing prevailing wind regimes
-
Environmental Science – studying pollutant or dust dispersion
-
Aviation & Transportation – assessing site safety and planning operations
-
Renewable Energy – evaluating sites for wind power development
