This raster dataset is a visibility analysis of several wind turbine projects across Iceland which are a part of the fifth phase of the master plan (Rammaáætlun http://www.ramma.is/).

The area analysed is a 45 km buffer zone around each wind turbine project. The cutout areas in the 45 km buffer have no visibility due to visual obstruction. The red colour represents high visibility, fading into yellow, with the green colour representing low visibility of the wind turbines. Zones of theoretical visibility have been classified as near (0-2km), intermediate (2-15km) and remote zone (>15km) which are represented in the colour grading. It should be considered that atmospheric conditions, lighting, shading and more affect visibility and detectability. The perception of the wind projects in the green zone will be more fading in the landscape without direct detection, while in the red coloured zone the wind turbine is a prominent element in the landscape. For further information consider reading the respective chapter in the project report or check out further tools like the Ramma 3D map.

As a digital elevation model the 10x10 m resolution ÍslandsDEM is used which sets the dataset pixel resolution to 10x10 m. An average viewer height of 1.75 m is assumed, while the wind turbine heights vary between 150 m and 200 m depending on project sites. The maximal height of the wind turbine is considered, meaning to the upper blade tip. See more information in the table on the side.

The curvature of the earth is considered in the simulation and a default atmospheric refraction of 0.13 is assumed.
