Appendix 6: Weather, its influence on offshore wind reliability
Weather conditions are difficult to describe succinctly for engineering purposes and it is not yet clear which aspects are important for WT operation. Weather has been measured at sea since 1805, using the Beaufort scale summarised in Table 15.1, and this is a helpful basis for understanding the impact of weather on offshore wind farms.
