They cover the North Atlantic Ocean from the west coast of Europe to the U.S. and Canadian east coasts, and the North Pacific Ocean from the U.S. and Canadian west coast to the east coast of Asia. OPC weather forecasts and warnings for these areas primarily ensure the safety of ocean-crossing commercial ships and other vessels on the high seas.
An important contribution to the artificial reef effect is that sufficient light for plant growth only reaches 50m below the water surface in the North Sea, so the Hywind Tampen structures can contribute to the increase of phytoplankton and other key nutrients for marine life. [26] The North Sea is a rich area of biodiversity and biological ...

[2] The first commercial-scale (greater than 100 MW) offshore plant, the South Fork Wind Farm off Rhode Island, was fully commissioned on March 14, 2024.
Along the North Carolina coast, near and to the east of where the storm makes landfall, gusts of 60-70 mph with an AccuWeather Local StormMax™ of 80 mph will cause more widespread power outages.
The state has significant offshore wind resources. In 2015, small scale wind turbine projects were found throughout the state. In 2016, North Carolina's first large scale wind project, and the first in the southeastern U.S., was completed near Elizabeth City. [2] [3] In 2019, North Carolina had an installed wind capacity of 208 MW. [4]
