Abstract
ABSTRACT Compared to onshore, offshore wind offers a more consistent resource, potential close proximity to load centers, and greater distance from people's view sheds. Much of our understanding of the wind resources in the western north Atlantic derives from remote sensing and scattered measurements. In contrast, offshore wind turbines typically have hub heights exceeding 150 m above sea level. This study uses anemometer data from near hub height obtained from offshore oil and gas exploration and production vessels, combined with well‐established and vetted historical reanalysis data of 10‐m wind heights to develop an observational wind shear model. Although the wind shear magnitudes themselves are in line with other studies of offshore wind, a counterintuitive seasonality is observed. There is more wind shear between 10 m and hub heights during the summer than during the winter. Although this finding seems inconsistent with the physics of atmospheric instability caused by temperature differences between the sea surface and the lower atmosphere, findings at several independent measurement sites in two remote ocean regions of Atlantic Canada are in agreement. This finding may help planning agencies and wind developers to select sites, perform preliminary viability and economic modeling, and thereby facilitate the transition and integration to offshore wind energy.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
