I am looking for the meaning for Offshore and Onshore, in the case of wind forms. There are several terms available in the web. which I come across, terms such as:

கடல் சார்ந்த
கடலோர
ஆழ்கடல்
தொலைகடல்
தூரக்கடல்
கரைநோக்குங்காற்று
கரைநீங்குங்காற்று
etc......

Are there established and specific terms available for Offshore and Onshore, in the case of wind forms?

Will be thankful for references.

கடலை விட்டு விலகிய (காற்றாலைகள்)


Explanation:
I think you mean "Farm" but typed as "Form"! These terms are meant for Wind Farms that generate electricity through windmills and their location. In some cases the wind mills are erected on the land away from the sea shore as the wind from the land towards the sea may be more powerful to rotate the blades. Hence they are offshore farms or farms adjacent to land or far from edge of the sea.
