This is very unique and relevant research so I strongly support publication.

However I think that the value of this article could become even higher by considering some improvements, many of my suggestions are "low hanging fruit" but a few are more essential.

Good luck with the finalisation of this nice article!

RC2: 'Comment on wes-2022-42', Ryan Scott, 07 Oct 2022

This is an interesting article with well-founded conclusions which will benefit wind energy as well as the general understanding of boundary layer phenomena. I recommend the article for publication provided the authors address the suggestions included in the attached supplement.

Short summary

Results from the DAN-AERO and aerodynamic glove projects provide significant findings. The effects of inflow turbulence on transition and wind turbine blades are compared to computational fluid dynamic simulations. It is found that the transition scenario changes even over a single revolution. The importance of a suitable choice of amplification factor is evident from the simulations. An agreement between the power spectral density plots from the experiment and large-eddy simulations is seen.
