9.2 Comment on Result Presentation

The analysis of model results and measurements focuses, on one hand, on the whole
model area and, on the other hand, along sections through the model area and on
special points. With the following graphics, positions of OWFs and investigation
locations, which are used in the analysis, are clarified. Graphic Fig. 9.10 shows how
small the different OWF districts are. Graphic Fig. 9.11 underlines cross sections
through OWF, which were mostly used to illustrate the OWF s effect on the ocean

in the vertical. Lastly, graphic Fig. 9.12 documents positions of location within the
model area. Position P 0, respectively P 3, is placed within OWF at southeasterly
grid box of the 12-turbine OWF district. Distance to S-N cross section of positive
positions ( P +

'

), it is 12 km. P 2is6km
North to OWF center along S-N section; P 3, 12 km South to it (Fig. 9.12 a and b).

) is 6 km; for negative positions ( P ...
