Short summary
A neural observer is used to estimate shear and veer from the operational data of a large wind turbine equipped with blade load sensors. Comparison with independent measurements from a nearby met mast and profiling lidar demonstrate the ability of the rotor as a sensor concept to provide high-quality estimates of these inflow quantities based simply on already available standard operational data.
