13. Use of Satellite Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Images to tune a semi-empirical Model for Wind Speed Deficits downstream of offshore Wind Farms

A two-dimensional advection/diffusion model for the near sea surface wind speed deficit downstream of offshore windparks is fitted to satellite synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. The Wake2Sea model enables the inclusion of offshore wind farm (OWF) wake effects in existing atmospheric model data at low computational costs and employs the standard Fitch parameterisation to describe the...
