    Rose diagrams are circular histograms used to display directional data, such as wind direction. They show the frequency of occurrences in azimuthal bins radiating outward from the center. An example rose diagram displays wind direction data recorded at meteorological stations, with frequencies counted in 20-degree azimuth bins. The radial distance corresponds to the frequency of observations in each directional bin.

    ES302 Introduction to Polar Plots / Rose Diagrams for Azimuthal Data 

     
    Rose diagrams circular frequency histograms that are used for directional (azimuthal) data.  Examples of 
    these types of data include strikes of bedding, wind direction, or ocean current directions.  An example is 
    shown below: 
    0
    340 20

    320 40

    300 60

    280 80

    260 0 1 2 3 4 100

    240 120

    220 140

    In this example, the “rose petals” show the frequency of occurrence of wind direction recorded at 
    meteorological stations in a hypothetical coastal region, over a 1‐week period.  The wind azimuth 
    frequencies or counted in “20 degree” azimuthal bins, from 0‐20, 20‐40, 40‐60… etc… 320‐240, 340‐0.  The 
    radial distance from the center of the graph is the frequency or number of stations that recorded a given 
    wind direction, in a given 20‐degree bin.   
     
    Task 1.  Examine the rose diagram above, and fill in the data table below.

    Task 2. Create your own rose diagram showing the frequency distribution of strike azimuths of fractures.  
    The data are listed on the following page, see below for a blank polar / rose graph to construct your 
    frequency diagram.  Organize your azimuthal bins into 10‐degree increments.  Create a tally table listing 
    each azimuthal bin, and tally the number of fracture strikes that occur in each bin.  Scale your radial 
    distance on the graph so that the highest frequency recorded properly fills the graph space.
