NASA Satellite Measurements Imply Texas Wind Farm Impact on Surface TemperatureGreenbelt MD (SPX) May 01, 2012 A Texas region containing four of the world's largest wind farms showed an increase in land surface temperature over nine years that researchers have connected to local meteorological effects of the turbines. The land surface temperature around the west-central Texas wind farms warmed at a rate of .72 degrees Celsius per decade during the study period relative to nearby regions without wind farms, an effect most likely caused by the turbulence in turbine wakes acting like fans to pull down warmer ... read more |
