Projected cross-shore changes in upwelling induced by offshore wind farm development along the California coast
Abstract In California offshore waters, sustained northwesterly winds have been identified as a key resource that can contribute substantially to renewable energy goals. However, the development of large-scale offshore wind farms can reduce the wind stress at the sea surface, which could affect wind...
