Greg Dash from Aberystwyth University is looking at how people visiting rural landscapes perceive wind turbines.
Among the affected respondents, therefore, it is not so much how they perceive wind energy that is important what really matters is their willingness to adjust.
The lack of significant influence of general attitude toward wind energy on the perception of landscapes with WTs among respondents with a technical background implies that they perceive wind power plants only as technical structures designed for a certain use [35].
It follows that the ability to accurately perceive wind speeds (in itself), even though it may co-develop as a subserving capability, does not have the same impact on sailors' performance, and hence may be of lower priority.
It could be that by chance we detected the wind speed threshold that allowed us to differentiate between experts (i.e., sailors) and laymen with respect to their ability to accurately perceive wind directions.
In fact, it seems that with wind speeds close to 3 knots, experts sailors who are trained and have accumulated significant experience at perceiving wind directions at various wind intensities benefit from a higher sensitivity to cutaneously perceived stimuli, whereas control participants are not sensitive enough to correctly perceive wind directions with such low wind speeds.

Participants were asked to judge cutaneously perceived wind directions and speeds without having access to any visual or auditory information.
Likewise, participants perceived wind stimuli from frontal directions as being more intense than those from rear directions.
That is, for higher wind speeds, the increase of perceived wind speed as a function of actual wind speed was relatively smaller.
The results indicated that expert sailors outperformed nonsailors in perceiving wind direction (i.e., smaller mean signed errors) when presented with low wind speeds.
Participants rated the wind directions and speeds on the basis of their cutaneously perceived wind sensations in the absence of any auditory or visual information.
