Thank you very much for developing and maintaining the available software tools. In relation to my thesis I'm doing some simulations using the 5MW reference turbine, where I'm doing some condition monitoring. I have a few questions regarding Turbsim and InflowWind, since the various wind phenomena are important to my work.
When simulating the reference turbine, the file named "NRELOffshrBsline5MW_InflowWind_12mps" contains the outputs Wind1VelX", "Wind1VelY" and "Wind1VelZ" by default. I'm unable to find anything in the documentation regarding what these velocities are equivalent to (Where they a physically measured). Are these computed on the nacelle, where Wind1Velx is equal to what an anemometer would measure? If not, how do obtain something equivalent? Edit: On further thought, the wind speed measured by an anemometer could be intrepreted as sqrt(Wind1Velx^2 + Wind1Vely^2 +Wind1Velz^2 ).
I'm able to successfully generate different full-field wind data sets and run various simulations using these. Due to my inexperience with wind turbines and wind in general, I'm trying to figure out a best way to visualize the generated data. Also, since it seems that Turbsim uses various random events, see the figure below, which drastically changes the behaviour of the generated power.

I'm hoping that the wind data can be visualized as some sort of 3D plot, any suggestions on how to achieve a visualization of the full-field wind data that makes sense? And is there a way to receive/output a summary of which randoms events occur at the different time steps?
Any sort of help is appreciated. I'm sorry if the answers to my questions are very obvious, please forgive me if I have overlooked something simple.
Best regards,
