The present code is a Matlab function that allows a Wind Rose diagram (i.e., a direction-intensity histogram) to be plotted based on empirical or simulation data for wind direction (in cardinals or degrees) and wind speed (in m/s) using 16 spatial directions (N, NNE, NE, ENE, E, …, NNW) and 7 speed levels (0 to 4 m/s, 4 to 8 m/s, …, 24+ m/s). The plot can be used for meteorology purposes and gives a concise view of how wind speed and direction are distributed at a particular location.
Four examples are given to clarify the usage of the function. For convenience, the input and output arguments are given at the beginning of the function.
