Short summary
The Scotian Shelf has world-class offshore wind resources. This study assessed four wind datasets against observations and found notable seasonal and spatial variations in performance. Wind power production decreased substantially in summer and was sensitive to turbine spacing. Dataset uncertainties further increased variability in estimated wind energy output. These findings offer valuable insights for planning future offshore wind farms on the Scotian Shelf.
