This article will help you understand how to interpret the wind readings from your Clarity Node-S + Wind module using a wind rose.
This feature is only available if you have a Clarity Node-S + Wind module.
- If you'd like to learn more about the wind module, please fill out this form here and we'll be in touch!
- If you'd like to deploy your wind module, please check out the Wind Deployment Guide. You will need to configure your Clarity Node-S device first.
The Clarity Node-S + Wind Module is designed to work seamlessly to provide you both with air quality data and wind readings. One way to visualize the wind speed and direction data collected is using a wind rose.
Finding the Wind Rose feature
1. Navigate to Analytics > Explore map.
2. Click on a Clarity device that has the wind module attached.
3. Click on "Advanced Charts".
4. A pop-up window with plotting features will be available. Click on "Wind Rose".
Understanding the Wind Rose
The wind rose shows the general wind direction and speed for each sampling period.
- The eight sections of the circular wind rose show the direction the wind blew from.
- The length of each spoke in the eight sections shows how often (percentage of the sampling period) the wind blew from that direction.
For example, in the wind rose above:
- Approximately 27% of the winds are coming from the North.
- If you scroll over each spoke, the different colors of the spoke also provide information on the wind speed in meters/second (m/s).
