February wind roses. (Direction from which the wind is blowing.) OCT NOV DEC JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP 100% 80%. 60%- 40%- - 20%- ---NORTHEAST CAPE - SAINT PAUL — ADAK Figure 2-3. Percent of observations reporting five-eighths cloud cover or greater. Surface Winds Fig. 2-4 shows wind roses for selected locations in the Bering Sea during February and Fig. 2-5 shows roses for the same stations during August. Wind roses show the percentage of observations from each of eight possible directions. The number in the center is the percent of light winds in the record. Each arm is divided into the percent of observations of 1-6 kn, 7- 16 kn, and 17 kn or greater from each direction. In winter the northern stations show a high per- centage of winds greater than 17 kn from the north and northeast, while in the south, the winds over marine area C are uniformly distributed over direc- tion with moderately large speeds. This marine rose is indicative of a fairly continuous progression of storms through the area. Wind speeds over the Bering Sea in summer are generally lower than in winter,.
