+	Wind Resources in Finnmark east offshore 3

		Possible use of shallow areas along the Norwegian coast for wind energy production depends on the water depth, distance to shore and the annual mean wind speed. These variables can be explored by clicking on the link icons in the below figure.

	Area classification
	In this model the shallow offshore areas with depths less than -50 meters cover: 274 km 2. Shallow areas are further classified in 5x5 groups according to distance to fixed point and according to water depth. A fixed point is defined as any point in an island that has a minimum area. The minimum island area is set to: 1.0 km 2.
