Satellite Observations of Wind Farm Impacts on Nocturnal Land Surface Temperature in Iowa

Wind farms (WFs) are believed to have an impact on lower boundary layer meteorology. A recent study examined satellite-measured land surface temperature data (LST) and found a local nighttime warming effect attributable to a group of four large WFs in Texas. This study furthers their work by investi...
