Íslenskur texti er í vinnslu. 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.

The European Environment Agency (EEA) is an agency of the European Union (EU) tasked with providing independent information on the environment. Established in 1990 and headquartered in Copenhagen, Denmark, the EEA serves as a key source of environmental data, assessments, and reports for policymakers and the public across Europe. With a focus on improving environmental decision-making and promoting sustainable development, the agency plays a vital role in monitoring, analyzing, and communicating environmental trends and challenges. At its core, the EEA aims to support the development, implementation, and evaluation of EU environmental policies. It achieves this mission through a range of activities, including data collection, analysis, and reporting. The agency collaborates with national environmental agencies in EU member states, as well as other international organizations, to gather and harmonize environmental data from across Europe. This wealth of information is then used to produce high-quality assessments and reports on various environmental topics. One of the primary functions of the EEA is to provide regular assessments of the state of Europe's environment. These assessments cover a wide range of issues, including air and water quality, biodiversity, climate change, and resource use. By compiling and analyzing data from different sources, the agency produces comprehensive reports that highlight key environmental trends, identify emerging challenges, and assess progress towards environmental objectives. These assessments are invaluable tools for policymakers, helping them to make informed decisions and prioritize actions to protect and improve the environment. In addition to assessing the state of the environment, the EEA also plays a crucial role in monitoring the effectiveness of environmental policies and measures. The agency tracks the implementation of EU environmental legislation and policies, assessing their impact on the ground. By evaluating the success or shortcomings of these policies, the EEA provides valuable feedback to policymakers, helping them to refine and strengthen environmental governance at the European level. Furthermore, the EEA acts as a hub for environmental information and knowledge exchange. The agency maintains several databases and online platforms, such as the European Environmental Data Centre (EEDC) and the European Environment Information and Observation Network (EIONET), which provide access to a wealth of environmental data, maps, and indicators. These resources are freely available to policymakers, researchers, NGOs, and the public, supporting evidence-based decision-making and fostering greater transparency and accountability in environmental governance.

The Geonetwork Catalog of the Arctic Biodiversity Data Service (ABDS) https://abds.is/ is an integral component of the Conservation of Arctic Flora and Fauna (CAFF) initiative https://www.caff.is/. CAFF is a working group of the Arctic Council dedicated to addressing the conservation challenges facing Arctic biodiversity and promoting sustainable management practices in the region. As part of CAFF's mandate, the ABDS aims to provide a comprehensive and accessible repository of biodiversity-related data and information specific to the Arctic. The Geonetwork Catalog within ABDS serves as a centralized platform for discovering, accessing, and sharing geospatial datasets relevant to Arctic biodiversity conservation and management. It hosts a diverse range of spatial data layers, including species distribution maps, habitat classifications, ecosystem assessments, land cover maps, and more. These datasets are sourced from various contributors, including scientific research projects, monitoring programs, government agencies, indigenous knowledge holders, and non-governmental organizations. Hereafter you can find the WMS, WFS and GeoNetwork connections.
