Every record in the database is taken as a sample and counted for the speed and direction classes and as such presented in the chart. Especially for the high frequency sampling (one or five minutes) this will give an accurate picture of the wind speed and direction figures. For the lower frequency sampling this picture may be less accurate for the month level. | Every record in the database is taken as a sample and counted for the speed and direction classes and as such presented in the chart.

NOTE: because of this calculation this graph takes a high toll on the performance of CumulusUtils: first because reading the monthly logs is expensive - especially when sampling on minute or five minute frequency - and secondly because the list is long (millions of records when using minute sampling) and making the sub selections per month again takes its toll. Optimisation of this chart is continuous work in progress. | |||

Total windrun per day is shown as a stacked column per month. For every day in a month the windrun is taken and counted into the class it belongs to. The windrun class width parameter value (''WindrunClassWidth'') is given by the user who estimates a width such that the number of classes is reasonable depending on unit and actual local wind conditions. | |||
The chart can be shown for ''All Time'' or for a specific year, selectable by the user. | |||
