This dataset contains the namelists used to generate the CA20 dataset, as well as notebooks and post-processed data used to generate figures for "A Twenty-Year Analysis of Winds in California for Offshore Wind Energy Production Using WRF v4.1.2" (in review).

CA20 is a 20-year offshore wind resource assessment in the Outer Continental Shelf off the coast of California. namelist.wps was used by WPS 4.1 to generate boundary conditions. namelist.input was used by WRF 4.1.2 to carry out the CA20 simulation. Details of the CA20 dataset as well as analysis may be found in the technical report "2020 Offshore Wind Resource Assessment for the California Pacific Outer Continental Shelf" doi.org/10.2172/1677466. The dataset itself may accessed through the Registry of Open Data on AWS. 

Update on July 11, 2023: The previous versions of namelist.input incorrectly listed the surface layer scheme as 1 (MM5) when it should have been 5 (MYNN). This error occurred during manual transcription of a template namelist.
