Short summary
This study delivers a method and datasets for a global offshore atlas for turbulence intensity from a height of 10 m to 200 m. The method innovatively includes both two-dimensional and three-dimensional turbulence, along with stability, wave age and height. Results show satisfactory agreement with measurements and data from the literature.
