Short summary
We conducted flights above the North Sea and investigated changes in the wind field. The research aircraft measured wind speed, wind direction, temperature, humidity and sea surface at high resolution. Wind parks reduce the wind speed, and the data help to determine how long it takes for the wind speed to recover. The coast also plays an important role, and the wind speed varies with distance from the coast. The results help in wind park planning and better estimating the energy yield.
