Abstract
A method for determining a relative position of wind sensors on a wind turbine comprising: obtaining wind data from each of at least two wind sensors installed on a wind turbine at a location where airflow is affected by a rotor of the wind turbine, the obtaining occurring while the rotor is rotating, identifying oscillations in the wind data from each of the wind sensors, determining a phase or amplitude difference between the oscillations, and determining a relative position of the wind sensors based on the phase or amplitude difference.
