Offshore Wind Turbine Visibility and Visual Impact Threshold Distances
[Abstract] Potential visual impact on coastal lands has emerged as a major concern in the development of offshore wind facilities in the United States and Europe. Optimal siting of offshore facilities requires accurate knowledge of the relationship between distance and the visibility of wind turbines. Past assessments of offshore wind turbine visibility were based on smaller turbines and facilities in use at the time and underestimate visibility for current projects, which use more and larger larger turbines. This study is . . . Complete article »

Wind Turbine Visibility and Visual Impact Threshold Distances in Western Landscapes
Abstract The siting of wind facilities to minimize visual impacts to high-value scenic resources presents a major challenge for land management agencies in the western United States. The visibility and potential visual contrasts associated with utility-scale wind facilities are dependent on complex interactions of a variety of factors, but little systematic study of visibility in real landscape settings has been conducted. In a study sponsored by the United States Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management, 377 observations of . . . Complete article »
