Dear Scholar,
I have a question about dealing with wind speed and wind direction data. How to find the distribution and frequency of wind direction data which are in angles. I have tried wind rose, but I wonder if there are other ways.

Nasrin Fathollahzadeh Attar A polar histogram, rose diagram, or wind rise can be used to display the frequency and distribution of wind direction data. These graphs depict the frequency of wind direction in various directions and aid in the visualization of the wind direction pattern. You may use specialist software or plotting tools to make these diagrams, such as MATLAB, R, or Excel. Additionally, before constructing the graphic, you may need to transform the raw wind direction data into binned categories (e.g., N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW).
One way to show the frequency and distribution of wind direction data is to use a polar histogram. A polar histogram is a bar graph that represents data in 360 degrees around a circle. Each bar represents a range of wind directions, and each bar's length represents the frequency of wind in that direction. Another way to represent the data is using a rose diagram, which is similar to a polar histogram, but instead of bars, it uses sectors to show the frequency and distribution of wind direction data. The area of each sector represents the frequency of wind in that direction.
