Sensitivity of the WRF model wind simulation and wind energy production estimates to planetary boundary layer parameterizations for onshore and offshore areas in the Iberian Peninsula

Due to the close dependence of each PBL and SL scheme performance on the surrounding synoptic conditions and atmospheric stability, it is expected that for different geographical areas and/or temporal periods these schemes may show different results. However, the fact that this study includes one complete year of simulation for a considerably wide geographical area, including the different synoptic conditions that typically occur in a annual cycle, provides a solid base of confidence that the conclusions drawn from this work may be applied to other periods and/or geographical areas.
