Simulating the year to minute wind spectrum with mesoscale‐coupled large‐eddy simulations

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
We coupled a large‐eddy simulation (resolution 50 m) to a mesoscale model (resolution 2 km), which takes boundary conditions from the ERA5 reanalysis. When using a large enough mesoscale domain (𝒪(1000 km)), the simulation setup can reproduce the observed temporal wind spectrum reasonably at all scales between one year and one minute.
