apparent wind
vind i forhold til


Explanation:
Not sure about the context here, but if we're talking about the wind relative to a boat, then "vindhastighet i forhold til båten", or "seilvind" are commonly used in Norwegian.

In another context, perhaps "relativ" vind, vindstyrke or vindhastighet would work?

Sann vind


Explanation:
Innenfor båtmiljøet brukes ofte uttrykket sann vind for å måle vindhastigheten.

Example sentence(s):
  • SHIP-meldingene gir, i tillegg til meteorologiske data, opplysninger om båtens posisjon, hastighet og seileretning (slik at sann vind kan beregnes korrekt).
