Impact of Low-Level Jets on Atlantic Coast Offshore Wind Farm Performance (Text Version)

This is the text version of the video Impact of Low-Level Jets on Atlantic Coast Offshore Wind Farm Performance.

It shows the animation of a 20-turbine array simulation revealing how low-level jet streams (LLJs) flow through wind turbines, compared to ideal wind behavior.
