Renewable energy resources now play an essential role in the energy
supply debate, and especially a new interest in wind energy has
resulted in the intensified construction of wind farms. Thanks to
the growing demand for renewable energy, offshore wind farms (OWFs)
are increasingly gaining in popularity, since yields over sea are
greater and more reliable than over land. Against this background
it is becoming particularly urgent to determine whether and if so
to what extent such OWF expansion affects our oceans and local
climates. OWFs produce a downstream wind speed reduction, the
so-called wind-wake effect, which impacts atmospheric boundary
layers, alters local wind characteristics and in turn affects ocean
dynamics. This book will help readers to understand in detail these
OWF-induced changes in the atmosphere and ocean by analyzing model
simulations and measurements. In this context, OWF-induced
upwelling and downwelling are key aspects.
