Hindcast atmospheric simulation for the North Sea using COSMO6.0-CLMWF version driven with ERA5 reanalysis data and the wind farm parametrization from Fitch et al., 2012 (referenced by Elizalde, 2023) with wind turbines of 3.6 MW rated capacity. The covered period is from 2012 to 2022 with hourly frequency output. The model uses a rotated grid with 356 x 396 grid points and a grid spacing of 0.02 degrees, the rotated North pole is located at 180 W, 30 N.
