title: Dataset for study 'Multi-season evaluation of temperature and wind in the marine boundary layer along the United States northeast coast in the High-Resolution Rapid Refresh model'

description: The Third Wind Forecast Improvement Project (WFIP3) was conducted along the US northeast coast from 2024-2025 collecting comprehensive observations in the marine boundary layer. Ground-based remote sensing observations of temperature and wind were used to evaluate the marine boundary layer in the operational High-Resolution Rapid Refresh (HRRR) model that is run by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. This repository with the DOI 10.5281/zenodo.18675834 contains the observational and model data as well as the Python code used to analyze the data and create the plots. A manuscript with the results of this study was submitted to the journal Geoscientific Model Development by Adler et al. 2026 and is available at https://egusphere.copernicus.org/preprints/2026/egusphere-2026-97/ under DOI https://doi.org/10.5194/egusphere-2026-97.
