Wind shadows from U.S. east coast offshore wind energy lease areas.

Georeferenced data layers describing whole wind farm wakes (wind shadows) for use in planning and development along the U.S. east coast based on WRF simulations performed using the accompanying namelist. Full details of the analysis are provided in: Pryor and Barthelmie: Wind shadows impact planning of large offshore wind farms
