Wind speeds over open ocean areas are often higher than those in the windiest areas over land. Focusing on the North Atlantic region, these researchers provide evidence that there is potential for greater downward transport of kinetic energy in the overlying atmosphere. As a result, wind power generation over some ocean areas can exceed power generation on land by a factor of three or more.
