As the U.S.' first wind farm is installed in Rhode Island this week, a new study from the University of Delaware shows offshore wind may be even more powerful and turbulent than expected in the Northeast. The findings, published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, could have important implications for the future development of American offshore wind farms -- assessing how much wind power can be produced, what type of turbines to use, how many turbines should be installed and the spacing between them.
