Wind Rose of French Landfill



Wind Roses are cardinal direction maps of windspeed and intensity. They are useful in visualizing wind patterns over a given period of time or under certain conditions. This Wind Rose indicates that a strong presence of Northerly and Northeastern winds occur in this area. It is most common for the windspeed to be between 2-8 m/s. These maps can predict trends in wind patterns that can be used to explain weather patterns or surficial geology.
