Manuscript
This paper is valuable in that it integrates and organizes diverse wind turbine datasets in Europe into a single, coherent resource. Although this must have been a very demanding task, the authors have successfully accomplished it.
Furthermore, they apply the dataset to HARMONIE-AROME model to investigate the local impacts of wind farms.
Based on the manuscript, the following comments are proposed:
- Specific comments:
1) Figure 1 caption:
Readers encounter the abbreviations NEA and DINI for the first time in this caption, and it would be helpful to provide their full names in advance. In addition, it is unclear whether the notation “Fischereit et al. (modified)” is a common convention; it might be preferable to use a format such as “Fischereit et al. (2022c’)” or “modified–Fischereit et al. (2022c).”
2) L125:
Since the EMODnet polygon is not familiar to many readers, it would be helpful to provide an intuitive map in the supplementary material so that readers can easily understand it without having to visit the website.
3) Chapter 2:
Although building the wind turbine database is second goal of this paper, It would be beneficial if the process were described more clearly and explicitly.
The authors might consider adding a schematic flowchart to better organize and clarify the complexity of the procedure.
4) L258:
Since the Danish Meteorological Institute is later referred to as DMI (Figure 1 and L289), the abbreviation should be introduced when it is first mentioned.
5) L260:
With a horizontal resolution of 2.5 km, it seems likely that multiple turbines could fall within a single grid cell. How such cases are handled in the WFP?
6) Figure 9 and Table 5:
It would be helpful to distinguish masts and lidars more clearly, as the current color strategy does not appear sufficiently clear. Adding a table line could also improve readability.
7) L400:
Since the current wording may cause confusion, it might be clearer to write “1) FITCH, 2) EWP, and 3) OFF and NWF.”
8) Figure 15:
The lead time on the x-axis should be made consistent with the ranges used in the text (1–11, 12–23, 24–35, and 36–47).
9) Figure 20 in text:
It is unclear whether Figure 20 is correctly referenced in lines 483–484.
