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

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.
