Abstract

The possible effects of a wind farm on the atmosphere, especially on the atmospheric wind field, are summarized in the previous chapter. Based on the fact that wind farms will be heightened construct on the ocean, an analysis on how a changed wind field will affect the ocean’s dynamics is of special interest in this context. At this juncture, different aspects are focused on.
