LES dataset of the 8-9 November 2013 diurnal cycle at the SWiFT site – internal.ipa.wrf Dataset

Dries Allaerts, Eliot Quon, Matt Churchfield,
Large-eddy simulation (LES) data for the diurnal cycle on 8 and 9 November 2013 at the Scaled Wind Farm Technology Facility (SWiFT), simulation case "internal.ipa.wrf". The LES data has been generated with SOWFA-6 using Mesoscale-to-Microscale Internal Coupling. The forcing methodology was Indirect Profile Assimilation (IPA) and the forcing data was taken from a WRF simulation. The dataset includes data from 9 virtual met masts ("probes") arranged in a 3x3 grid with 1 km spacing, horizontally averaged data, several 2D instantaneous slices, and the large-scale source terms computed by the IPA algorithm. The simulation is described and analysed in the journal article "Using observational mean‐flow data to drive large‐eddy simulations of a diurnal cycle at the SWiFT site" (case R therein).
