: Don't quite know what they're getting at? I suppose they mean expressed as 'NNE' instead of 'x°'

... le direction du vent pour chaque 30 mns d'arc sur une rose des vents
je pense

Then it is a LED screen showing indicating a value for the needle position each 30 mns of time, not a physical compass then.

: This is 30 minutes of time, not of arc. / It IS clear enough: '...at each 30-minute reading' can only be interpreted as half-hourly; if it were ½° (a very TINY increment just for a wind direction!), it would have been expressed quite differently in s/t.

les aires de vent
les aires de vents (les marins disent aussi rhumb) correspondent aux 32 secteurs qui divisent la rose de vents comme les 'compass point directions"

Cherchez rhum sur le TLFI et vous verrez si ce n'est pas francais...
http://atilf.atilf.fr/
De toute façon ce n'est pas le sujet, si ?
mais on s'égare là....Je n'ai jamais proposé rhumb j'en ai juste parlé dans la justification de ma trad.
comme par exemple vessel coming up with another vessel from any
direction more than 22.5 degrees (2 points) abaft the beam shall be deemed to be an overtaking vessel
à noter que que point a été abandonné par l'OMI dans les règles de barre remplacé par le degré..
La rose est aussi une image poétique "à cueillir en rêvant sur un rayon de lune":
