Description

Dataset

1. observation data over 14 weather stations

Variables: hourly near-surface 2-min average wind speed, wind direction 

2. ECMWF-IFS forecast data over 14 weather stations

Variables: hourly predictors at surface level and upper level in next 48 hours (shown in Table 1. and Table 2.)

3. key variables constructed by feature engineering

(1) sort-term statistics, including maximum, minimum, mean and variance of key variables (2t, 10u, 10v and 10ws) from ECMWF-IFS model during the next 48 hours,

 (2) long-term statistics, including mean and deviation of key variables (2t, 10u, 10v and 10ws) from ECMWF-IFS model during history 3-yr period (January 2020–December 2022),

 (3) thermodynamic factors,  including the low-level wind shear between 10ws and 100ws, vertical wind shear between 200 hPa and 850 hPa, the differences between sst and 2t.
