Wind Direction Wind Direction is shown on a station model by a line (called a flag) drawn in contact with the central cir- cle. The flag is drawn from the direction the wind blows (the same way we name a wind) toward the circle. Wind is named for the direction it blows from. Wind direction can be labeled by azimuth () or compass direction (N/S/E/W). Complete the missing wind directions for each appropriate arrow on the diagram at right. Wind Speed Wind speed is represented in knots of speed by little lines called "feathers. The feathers will be drawn on the clockwise side of the flag. Long feathers represent 10 knots each. A short feather closer to the cir- cle represents 5 knots. What is the direction of the wind shown on the station model at right? The wind is (going to / coming from) the (N/S/E/W).
