Polar Wind Charts

Click the Home | New Graph | Polar | Polar Wind Chart command to display wind data, although you can use this graph type with other types of data. In a wind chart, each bin represents the number of times wind flows from a given direction. The direction is divided up into bins, and each bin contains separation of the data into wind speeds. Therefore, the number of times wind comes from a given direction and the speed of the wind is given in each bin. Click the Polar Wind Chart button to create a polar wind chart. |
