Short summary
Data acquired by the European Sentinel-1A/Sentinel-B satellites are combined with a semi-empirical model to enable the easy inclusion of atmospheric offshore wind farm wakes in existing atmospheric model datasets. The model improves the agreement of data from an operational forecast centre with in situ measurements in the German Bight significantly.
