A windrose is a tool that is highly utilized by meteorologists to forecast wind speeds and directional flow. A windrose originated from the term "compass rose" which tells direction. The windrose shows a wide band of wind direction and uses different colors to plot directional flow and speed. This diagram is a perfect example of what I have just described. It compares to a compass rose with the directional flow but uses colors to show the variation in the directional flow and wind speed.
