Tawas Point: reading the meter…
All readings
Knots, newest on the right, never interpolated — a gap is a gap in the record.
TAWM4, where the wind comes from, 39 days
Which way the working wind blows here
41% of the hours over 12 kt came from NE–E in the last 39 days, though the wind sat most often in the N — that is the lighter wind. The dark wedges are the ones to read.
How this was measured
Floor is the 12 kt default; set a wind floor on an alert here and the rose is cut at yours. Hours the meter read at or over the floor: 39 of 782 (5%). Over the floor at the meter is not a rideable hour: gust, your direction window and the meter's own siting are not in it.
One reading per hour, the hour's strongest sample, from this meter's own readings over the last 39 days. Sixteen sectors. The two roses are each drawn to their own total: a light wedge is that sector's share of ALL hours, a dark wedge its share of the hours at or over the floor, and the rings are marked in the dark set's percentages. They are two distributions, not one inside the other. Direction is where the wind blows FROM.
