WRF Model Methodology for Offshore Wind Energy Applications

Table 2

Statistical metrics (MAE in m/s, ME in m/s, STD of the ME in m/s, and 𝑅) for the 100 m wind speed, so as to evaluate the performance of different horizontal resolutions (3 km versus 1 km).

At 100 m	MAE (m/s)	ME (m/s)	STD (m/s)	𝑅
1 km—ERA-I	2.45	−2.31	1.58	0.62
3 km—ERA-I	2.38	−2.27	1.47	0.66
