STUDIU: Parcurile eoliene offshore ar putea modifica distribuția precipitațiilor în regiunile de coastă ale Europei

A study indicates that large-scale offshore wind farms in the North and Baltic Seas could alter precipitation patterns in coastal Europe. Researchers found that these wind farms may increase rainfall above the turbines while reducing it onshore. The study, led by Naveed Akhtar, used high-resolution climate models to compare current and future scenarios. It suggests significant rainfall decreases in coastal regions of Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK. The authors emphasize that these effects are most pronounced under extreme development scenarios, necessitating further research on environmental impacts.
