Using Satellites to Identify Offshore Locations for Wind Farms

From the Article here:

 A Publication in the current issue of Geophysical Research Letters by a team of scientists from NASA’s JPL uses satellite data to measure the surface stresses over the oceans. Recent technological advances have made floating wind farms possible, but the key is putting them in the right locations.

I think this is really good use of technology but is it really feasable to deploy wind-farms in the ocean?
