Abstract. The development of wind energy in recent years has made the representation of wind turbines in numerical models essential for wind resource and environmental assessment. In this study, we introduce a new wind turbine model, the Simple Actuator Disk for Large Eddy Simulation (SADLES), parameterized in the Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) model. Our goal is to perform realistic downscaling of large eddy simulation, so we integrated SADLES and the cell perturbation method as WRF modules and released the code as open-source for further research. We demonstrate the effectiveness of SADLES by comparing a large eddy simulation of a 5-MW wind turbine using the WRF-SADLES with the Parallelized Large-eddy simulation Model (PALM), showing that SADLES can simulate wind turbine wakes effectively at an intermediate resolution of a few dozen meters. Furthermore, we show the applicability of SADLES in wind farm assessment by downscaling the ERA5 reanalysis data to study turbine-to-turbine and farm-to-farm interactions for the Alpha Ventus wind farm. In our case study, due to the wind farm to the southwest, the ambient wind speed at Alpha Ventus is reduced by 14 % and the average turbine power is reduced by 35 %. SADLES provides a promising balance between computational efficiency and accuracy for wind turbine wake simulations and has potential applications in wind energy assessment and wind farm construction planning.

Dear authors,
Unfortunately, after checking your manuscript, it has come to our attention that it does not comply with our "Code and Data Policy".
https://www.geoscientific-model-development.net/policies/code_and_data_policy.html
You have archived some assets used in your manuscript (manual and WRF and PALM codes) on Git repositories. However, these are not suitable repositories for scientific publication. For example, GitHub itself instructs authors to use other alternatives for long-term archival and publishing, such as Zenodo or FigShare. WRF and PALM are archived by third parties in this case; however, their licenses let you do copies and re-store them; the only thing that you need to do is to include in the new repositories their copyright notice (for WRF) and license (GPLv3 for PALM)Therefore, you must publish them in one of the appropriate repositories, and reply to this comment with the relevant information (link and DOI) as soon as possible, as they should be available for the Discussions stage. I should note that, actually, your manuscript should not have been accepted in Discussions, given this lack of compliance with our policy. Therefore, the current situation with your manuscript is irregular.
In this way, if you do not fix this problem, we will have to reject your manuscript for publication in our journal.

Dear Chief Editor,
We appreciate your valuable feedback. In response to your requests, we would like to provide the following information:
-
The user guide for WRF-SADLES (README.md) is already available in the Zenodo record at the following DOI: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7926283.
-
We have uploaded the models, WRF-4.3.1 and PALM-21.10, to Zenodo, with the following DOI: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.8054487.
We assure you that we will update the paper with this information in our upcoming revision.
Thank you once again for your attention to these matters.
Sincerely,
Hai Bui
