Sensitivity of Offshore Wind Farm Wakes and Ocean Coupling to Vertical Resolution in the Stable Marine Boundary Layer

Code and processed data reproducing the figures and analysis of Ayouche et al., "Sensitivity of Offshore Wind Farm Wakes and Ocean Coupling to Vertical Resolution in the Stable Marine Boundary Layer" (Wind Energy Science, 2025). The study uses WRF-Fitch mesoscale simulations of a large offshore wind farm over the Southern New England lease area during a stable marine boundary layer episode (2–8 May 2018), spanning five near-surface vertical resolutions (Δz = 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 m) and two ABL schemes (MYNN2, YSU), coupled to a 1-D Pollard–Rhines–Thompson ocean. Contents: runs/ — WRF namelists for the 15 simulations plus turbine configuration files figures_code/ — plotting scripts (figureN.py) and data-export scripts (figureN_save.py) figures_netcdf/ — the plotted arrays for Figs. 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9 (NetCDF) stats/ — figure statistics (CSV), including Fig. 5 shapefiles_masks_lease_areas/ — lease-area polygons used in Figs. 3, 8, 9 To run the scripts, edit the BASE and SHAPE_DIR paths at the top of each figure script. Raw WRF output (several TB) is available from the corresponding author on request; the archived namelists fully specify its regeneration. ERA5 (used for Figs. 1–2 and boundary conditions) is available from the Copernicus Climate Data Store (https://doi.org/10.24381/cds.adbb2d47). Code is released under MIT; processed data (figures_netcdf/, stats/) under CC-BY-4.0.
