The length of each line is proportional to the [[frequency]] of [[wind]] from that direction, and the frequency of [[calm]] conditions is entered in the center. Many variations exist; some indicate the [[range]] of wind speeds from each direction; some relate wind directions with other weather occurrences. <br/>''Compare'' [[resultant wind]], [[Lambert's formula]].</div><br/> </div>
