Abstract
The difference in air pressure of two different points on the surface of the Earth causes the flow of air from the high-pressure zone to the low-pressure one. In meteorology this flow is called "wind".
Wind is one of the meteorological parameters that is widely considered in developmental and spatial planning. In municipal engineering and urban planning, attention to dominant wind direction is a necessity in the construction of structures. In agricultural meteorology, particular attention is paid to the wind factor. The wind study is important in air transportation and location of airport construction. Considering the increasing consumption of fossil fuels such as oil, gas, coal, etc., and their non-renewable reality, advanced and developing countries are paying special attention to new energies, especially wind power. Therefore, attention to the direction and speed of wind is one of the necessities in regional studies. The wind direction and speed are analyzed after drawing the wind rose. Therefore, in this article, a software for drawing wind rose is briefly described.
