Quantifying the visual impact of wind farm lights on the nocturnal landscape #PRT

Highlights— A model for quantifying light pollution from wind turbine lights is proposed. Brightness of lights from wind turbines can far exceed that of the brightest stars. The visual range of wind farms at night is generally larger than at daytime. A study of the visual impact at night of four prospective windfarms is presented. The model proposed may be used in environmental impact and landscape assessments. ABSTRACT— Wind farm lights are a conspicuous feature in the nocturnal landscape. Their . . .
