The data represent the average reduction in wind speed in % due to the operation of wind farms in the Baltic Sea under the assumption of an expansion of offshore wind energy defined in different scenarios. The calculations were carried out with the numerical weather model WRF using a parameterization of wind farms according to Fitch. The results are available for the height of 125m in 2km x 2km resolution for the meteorological year 2006.

The data represent the calculated yields of wind farms in the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) in full load hours per wind farm expansion area, assuming an expansion of offshore wind energy defined in different scenarios. The calculations were carried out with the numerical weather model WRF using a parameterization of wind farms according to Fitch. The results refer to the areas in the Baltic Sea and the meteorological year 2006.

The data represent the average reduction in wind speed in % due to the operation of wind farms in the German Bight of the North Sea, assuming an expansion of offshore wind energy in continuous expansion years. The calculations were carried out with the numerical weather model WRF using a parameterization of wind farms according to Fitch. The results are available for the height of 125m in 2km x 2km resolution for the meteorological year 2006.

The map service "Magnetic Variation" offered for the information system "Geomagnetic Information" shows position-related magnetic variation data with the name of the nautical chart for which the respective magnetic variation value was calculated. The magnetic variation information is available for the current year and additionally for the following year and based on the World Magnetic Model (WMM) valid at the time of display. In addition, areas of uncertain declination mapped for the German coastal area, i.e. areas where the declination of the earth's magnetic field deviates significantly from its normal value.
