Just a thought:

Shouldn't the bars terminate with a arc rather then a straight line? What value should one reading this diagram look at? The one at the center of the "bar" or the "corners" these values can be quite different.

Can any one tell me if the numbers displayed in the attached plot is % of wind directions in each category? or are they represent some other numbers?
