SAR-Based Wind Resource Statistics in the Baltic Sea

SAR-Based Wind Resource Statistics in the Baltic Sea

Ocean winds in the Baltic Sea are expected to power many wind farms in the coming years. This study examines satellite Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images from Envisat ASAR for mapping wind resources with high spatial resolution. Around 900 collocated pairs of wind speed from SAR wind maps and fro...
