Wake effects of large offshore wind farms identified from satellite SAR

MB Christiansen, CB Hasager - Remote Sensing of Environment, 2005 - Elsevier
The effect of large offshore wind farms on the local wind climate is studied using satellite
synthetic aperture radar (SAR). Wind maps are derived from a total of 30 ERS-2 SAR scenes …

Combining meteorological stations and satellite data to evaluate the offshore wind power resource of Southeastern Brazil

F Pimenta, W Kempton, R Garvine - Renewable Energy, 2008 - Elsevier
Wind is strong and steady over the ocean, but on-site marine meteorological data are sparse
for evaluation of oceanic wind power. Here, we draw on meteorological station, satellite data …
