A case study of wind farm effects using two wake parameterizations in WRF (V3.7) in the presence of low level jets

This repository contains necessary files for reproducing the simulations using WRF in Larsén and Fischereit (2020).

The first group of files are the Namelists, which include the following files

namelist.wps.

namelist.input.NWF for simulations with no farms

namelist.input.Fitch for simulations with farms using the default Fitch scheme for farm wakes

namelist.input.EWP for simulations with farms using the EWP scheme for farm wakes

The second group of files are the turbine files that need to be specified when simulating the farm wakes. In connection with Fitch scheme, the files are Windturbines.txt and Wind-turbine-*.tbl. In connection with EWP scheme, the files are *.turbine and all_farms_corr_2017.real. The turbine files are downloaded from https://www.wasp.dk/dataandtools#power-curves

The third group of files are the geo_em.d0*.nc files and the table files for running WRF (Vtable.ERA5, METGRID.TBL, VEGPARM.TBL, LANDUSE.TBL, MPTABLE.TBL).

The last is a mathematica script for using the WRF output files for the analysis and making the figures, together with an example on how to calculate TKE (or WS) from the flight data averaged over 2 km.
