Ocean currents and water mass properties inside the Anholt Offshore Wind Farm (Kattegat, Denmark)

Christian Mohn, Marie Maar & Janus Larsen

This study investigates the complex and still insufficiently understood interactions between ocean currents and offshore wind farms (OWFs), with a focus on local-scale hydrodynamic effects near individual wind turbine foundations. Despite growing interest in the environmental impacts of OWFs, empirical field data on local-scale current dynamics within wind farms remain sparse. This technical report describes the results from a field campaign, which was conducted within the Anholt OWF in the Kattegat over a 9-day period in August 2024.
