Rose plots

One good use case for polar coordinates is when the data is naturally circular, for example, when it is a compass direction. If you plot a histogram with polar coordinates, you get a rose plot.

Here you can see a plot of wind direction data from a meteorological mast. Knowing the predominant wind direction is important for weather modeling and for determining where to site wind turbines. Wind measurements were taken at 10 minute intervals over an eight month period.

Look at the histogram and rose plot, then determine which statement is true.
