Abstract:

This data repository contains the model simulation and observational data used in the manuscript:

There are four Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model simulations consisting of two planetary boundary layer (PBL) parameterizations and two urban canopy models. The PBL schemes are Mellor-Yamada-Janjic (MYJ) and Yonsei University (YSU). The urban canopy models are a simple bulk scheme and the multilayer Building Effects Parameterization (BEP). The observational data consists of Automated Surface Observing Systems (ASOS) stations of Palm Beach International Airport (KPBI), Miami International Airport (KMIA), Pompano Beach Airpark (KPMP), the Fowey Rocks station from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Data Buoy Center, the University of Miami Health Center WeatherStem station, and an observational wind swath analysis of Hurricane Irma from the NOAA National Hurricane Center (NHC).

Citation counts are compiled through information provided by publicly-accessible APIs according to the guidelines developed through the https://makedatacount.org/ project. If journals do not provide citation information to these publicly-accessible services, then this citation information will not be included in RDA citation counts. Additionally citations that include dataset DOIs are the only types included in these counts, so legacy citations without DOIs, references found in publication acknowledgements, or references to a related publication that describes a dataset will not be included in these counts.
