Spokes point in the direction the wind blows from. Converseley, dominant spokes show favoured directions, and the more the darkest shade of blue, the stronger the wind. If the rose plot shows a nearly round shape, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Rusty Barrel. No doubt some coastal places have very localized wind effects that would not be predicted by NWW3.Īccording to the model, the most common wind at Rusty Barrel blows from the SSE. There are too few recording stations world wide to use actual wind data. It is based on 3360 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2006, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Rusty Barrel, located 22 km away (14 miles). The largest spokes point in the directions the wind most commonly blows from and the shade of blue indicates the strength, with the darkest shade of blue strongest. The graph shows how commonly and how strongly the wind blows from different directions through a typical September.
