Windrose

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_rose

A windrose is a visual graph used by meteorologists to show the strength, direction and frequency of wind at a given location. It looks similar to a star plot, but functions more like a bar graph stemming from a single point of origin. The plot below shows the wind speed windrose at LaGuardia Airport in Manhattan.
