Summary, Conclusion, and Outlook - On the Effect of Offshore Wind Farms on the Atmosphere and Ocean Dynamics - page 145

Hence, the OWF induced dynamical changes of the ocean on biology, as well as
on chemistry, should be a next step to estimating the OWF impacts on the
ecosystem.
But besides the question about consequences for the ecosystem, the back cou-
pling of the ocean with the atmosphere should be considered in the future as well. A
change in SST of 1/2 again affects the atmospheric boundary layer and the
atmosphere-ocean interaction. Analysis of OWF impacts on local climates, as
well as impacts on the ocean, will need fully coupled atmospheric-ocean simula-
tion to judge the strength of possible changes due to offshore wind farming.
