Hindcast atmospheric simulation for the North Sea using COSMO6.0-CLMWF version driven with ERA-Interim reanalysis data and the wind farm parametrization from Fitch et al., 2012 (referenced by Elizalde, 2023) with wind turbines of 15 MW rated capacity. The covered period is from 2008 to 2018 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.
