They are also used in the design of buildings, structures, and landscapes to assess the impact of wind on their performance and comfort. Wind roses are commonly used in meteorology, navigation, and environmental studies to analyze and visualize wind patterns and variability.

The length of the segments or petals in each section indicates the frequency or duration of the wind blowing from that direction. It typically consists of a circle divided into sections, each representing the frequency of wind blowing from a particular direction. A wind rose is a graphical tool used to represent the distribution of wind direction and speed at a particular location over a period of time.
