Short summary
This study presents a new wind dataset, generated by a convection-permitting regional climate model across North America. By validating the dataset against wind observations, we have demonstrated that this dataset captures the wind patterns over complex terrains more realistically than the European Centre for
Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) reanalysis version 5 (ERA5). Additionally, this study quantifies model uncertainty in wind speed, comparing it against interannual variability, to better inform wind farm siting.
