Wake turbulence in AWE

Wake turbulence hazard (WTH) formed by AWECS

What are the facts?
How will thermals affect the WTH of AWECS? Will thermals enlarge the airspace to be avoided downwind and up-thermal of an operating AWECS?
Experience?
Mitigations?
What methods will be used to know and "see" the wake profile of an AWECS installation?
WTH avoidance?
AWECS-farm-wake effects?
Air traffic in AWECS wakes?
How will WTH from AWECS be measured?
Wake profile of a particular AWECS operation?
Comparison studies?
What wake studies have been made for large kites?
How persistent are the wake structures downwind of an AWECS installation?
How large is the hazard space?
Air traffic control and AWECS CAT?
