== Data Sources ==

=== North Sea ===

# Critchley and Buckingham dataset of existing wind farms and plans up to 2030 https://zenodo.org/records/10478448 (status July 2023)

# Some data is available also by Fischereit et al. https://zenodo.org/records/17495821 who will be releasing a new dataset soon

=== Baltic Sea ===

# Combination of EMODnet https://emodnet.ec.europa.eu/geoviewer/ and https://map.4coffshore.com/offshorewind/ seems adequate
# For Denmark, existing turbine locations are also available from https://www.sologvindinfo.dk/spatialmap (not sure how to extract)
# For Estonia, shapefiles are available from https://xgis.maaamet.ee/xgis2/page/app/TTJAhoonestusload

It seems like the best approach might be the following:

# Start with EMODnet, possibly use the exact wind turbine locations for Denmark
# Cross check with https://map.4coffshore.com/offshorewind/ to adjust the power
# Replace EMODnet with Estonian polygons.

== Tasks ==
The WP3 is divided into five main tasks:

* [[WP3.T1|WP3.T1 – Modelling the atmospheric wakes]] (Lead: FMI / Partners: NIVA, DMI)
We will further develop the workflow to calculate wind wakes behind OWFs at basin scale using the open-source software pyWake, including verification of these offline wake computations using simulations from the weather model HARMONIE with parameterization of the atmospheric wake effects (at 2.5 km resolution).

* [[WP3.T2|WP3.T2 – Modelling the impact of OWFs on the wave–ocean system]] (Lead: DMI / Partners: FMI, HEREON, TalTech)
The state-of-the-art impact-resolving ocean–wave models will be further advanced for both individual OWF and large-scale applications.
For individual OWF, the impacts of turbine foundations on the ocean and waves can be explicitly resolved by the unstructured-grid ocean–wave model SCHISM–WWM (5 m resolution, HEREON).
The regional–basin scale models with parameterization of turbine bases (with resolution up to 50 m) will then be calibrated towards SCHISM–WWM high-resolution performance.

* [[WP3.T3|WP3.T3 – Modelling the impact of turbine foundations on sea ice]] (Lead: TalTech / Partners: FMI, SMHI, IOPAN)
We will implement a parameterization for OWF impacts on sea ice in the NEMO–SI3 and ROMS–CICE model systems, using regional setups in the north-eastern and southern Baltic Sea on a sub-kilometer-scale resolution.
We will also assess the footprint of wind turbines by employing a Lagrangian model to simulate the trace from each wind turbine in a drifting ice field.

* [[WP3.T4|WP3.T4 – Modelling cumulative human–climate effects on water quality and marine ecosystems]] (Lead: HEREON / Partners: TalTech, FMI, NIVA, ULiege, IOPAN)
With inputs from models developed in T3.2–T3.3, we will adapt existing impact-modelling tools to assess OWF impacts on:
(i) Fouling including multi-use sites (dedicated to low-trophic aquaculture) (SCHISM–WAM–ECOSMO; MAR–PHY–BGC);
(ii) The spatial ecological connectivity of key species and the potential for OWFs to serve as stepping stones for non-native species by estimating species dispersal pathways using OpenDrift;
(iii) Water quality, productivity and organic/mineral particle exports using ROMS–ERSEM;
(iv) Water quality and optimal habitat of four commercially fished species (CEMBS–ECOFISH).

* [[WP3.T5|WP3.T5 – Calibration and validation of models]] (Lead: IOPAN / Partners: NIVA, TalTech, all WP3 partners)
Models developed in T3.1–T3.3 will be tuned and calibrated against observations (from WP2) to achieve improved performance for targeted sub-regions.
In selected sub-regions, we will demonstrate further reduction in model uncertainties by assimilating:
(i) Satellite-derived water quality variables;
(ii) Ocean and ecosystem data, including OWF and aqua-farms.
In all cases, the 2010–2020 period will be used for calibration and validation.
