At the bottom of each column write down the number of cases in that
column, and then determine the percentages which these cases are of the
total number of observations. This is done by dividing the number of cases
in each column by the sum-total of all the observations. When you have
obtained the percentage of each kind of wind direction, you have a
numerical result.
A graphical presentation of the results may be made by laying off radii
corresponding in position to those which divide the sectors in Fig. 46,
and whose lengths are proportionate to the percentages of the different
wind directions in the table. Thus, for a percentage of 20, the radii may
be made 1 inch long, for 40%, 2 inches, etc. When completed, the relative
sizes of the sectors will show the relative frequencies of winds blowing
in the four different directions with reference to the gradient, as is
indicated in Fig. 47.
