English translation:wind rose
Explanation:
A wind rose is a graphic tool used by meteorologists to give a succinct view of how wind speed and direction are typically distributed at a particular location. Historically, wind roses were predecessors of the compass rose (found on maps), as there was no differentiation between a cardinal direction and the wind which blew from such a direction. Using a polar coordinate system of gridding, the frequency of winds over a long time period are plotted by wind direction, with color bands showing wind ranges. The directions of the rose with the longest spoke show the wind direction with the greatest frequency.

agree  Sladjana Daniels: Ruža vetrova jeste naziv za takav grafički prikaz. Ovde je neko na jednom forumudosta lepo objasnio: http://www.serbianmeteo.com/smf/index.php/topic,711.0.html
