Xining Caojiabao International Airport (XNN/ZLXN) is using landing and departure 11 right now. The badge is the confidence from the live NOAA Aviation Weather Center METAR and TAF wind vector, scored against every threshold.

Live METAR and TAF

NOAA METAR was unavailable, so the wind vector assumes calm air and prefers the longer runways.

Headwind, tailwind, and crosswind at ZLXN

Every runway threshold at ZLXN. Headwind is on the nose. Tailwind is the same component when the wind is on the tail. Positive crosswind in the source math is from the right.
