“…In the latter approach, turbulence can be explicitly added by the parameterization [e.g., Fitch et al, 2012], or implicitly generated through the creation of shear within the rotor layer [e.g., Jacobson and Archer, 2012]. These wind-farm models have been used to simulate wake impacts on local hydrometeorology [Baidya Roy, 2011;Fitch et al, 2013a], investigate the aggregate effect of wind power on regional and global climate [Kirk-Davidoff and Keith, 2008;Fiedler and Bukovsky, 2011;Wang and Prinn, 2011;Vautard et al, 2014;Fitch, 2015a], evaluate the sensitivity of wind-farm output to surface characteristics [Vanderwende and Lundquist, 2015], and estimate global wind resources [Lu et al, 2009;Marvel et al, 2013;Jacobson and Archer, 2012;Adams and Keith, 2013].…”
