Project: coastDat-4 - CoastDat-4 (https://www.coastdat.de/about_us/) comprises a compilation of consistent hindcasts obtained from numerical models. The dataset's atmospheric part is simulated using the COSMO in CLimate Mode version 6 (http://www.clm-community.eu) with different boundary conditions. The objective is to provide a consistent meteo-marine data set. This new data set should be understood as an upgrade of the coastDat-3 data. Summary: Potential generated power under the assumption of no wind farm interaction (wake effects neglected) using power formulation from the wind farm parametrization from Fitch et al., 2012 (referenced by Elizalde, 2023). Turbines rated capacity of 15 MW. Hindcast simulation for the North Sea using COSMO6.0-CLM version driven with ERA5 reanalysis data. The covered period is from 2012 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.
