Short summary
The paper describes a new approach to democratize access to results from expensive high-performance computer simulations of atmospheric boundary layer flow interacting with wind turbines, in large wind farms. Users interact with the data using a virtual sensor array methodology and essentially stream the data on demand to their analysis or visualization programs rather than having to download files and worrying about data formats, etc.
