The dataset was used in the following publication:
Sanz Rodrigo J, Churchfield M, Kosović B (2017) A methodology for the design and testing of atmospheric boundary layer models for wind energy applications. Wind Energ. Sci. 2: 1-20, doi:10.5194/wes-2-1-2017
The third GEWEX Atmospheric Boundary-Layer Studie (GABLS3) is used in the design of CFDWind single-column model to run with realistic forcing generated by the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) mesoscale model. The case consists on a diurnal cycle that leads to a nocturnal low-level jet and addresses fundamental questions related to the definition of the large-scale forcing, the interaction of the ABL with the surface and the evaluation of model results with observations. A sensitivity analysis of CFDWind is conducted to understand the added value of different elements of the model set-up: input forcing, turbulence model, nudging, etc
Self-described NetCDF data files are provided using the naming described in the paper.
