The map shown above is an example of a wind rose map. Wind rose maps are a type of geovisulaizations, and have a similar style to the circle plot. Their function is to show the frequencies of different winds in a region. The map above shows wind frequencies in Barrow, Alaska. According to the map, there were strong winds coming from the North and East directions, but weaker winds coming from the South and West directions. A key at the bottom left side of hte map indicates differetn wind strenghts, with red being the strongest and dark blue being the weakest.
