This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 6 November 2020, shows turbid sediment plumes generated by the offshore windmills of the Norther wind farm in the North Sea off the Belgian coast.

Summary

edit
Description
English: The development of offshore wind farms can in some cases impact coastal zones. For example, they can modify the sedimentary environment with potential consequences on the marine environment. Open Data from the Copernicus satellites and Marine Service enables to inform impact studies and deployment plans. This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 6 November 2020, shows turbid sediment plumes generated by the offshore windmills of the Norther wind farm in the North Sea off the Belgian coast. The study of the ocean and suspended sediments dynamics generated by offshore wind farms is a research topic for Aida Alvera Azcarate, a researcher at the University of Liège, Belgium who provided this image The Copernicus Sentinel missions allow to monitor water quality and sediment transport in coastal areas.
