“…Note that the employed LES algorithm has been widely used to develop wall‐layer models (Hultmark et al ., 2013; Yang et al ., 2016) and a series of algebraic SGS closure models for the bulk of turbulent flows (Meneveau et al ., 1996; Porté‐Agel et al ., 2000). The code has also been extensively validated against many observations, for example, for neutral, unstable and stable ABLs (Bou‐Zeid et al ., 2005; Kumar et al ., 2010; Huang and Bou‐Zeid, 2013), the diurnal evolution of the ABL (Kumar et al ., 2006; 2010; Sharma et al ., 2017), scalar transport (Chamecki et al ., 2009), and hurricane BLs over the Atlantic Ocean (Momen et al ., 2021). In the current article, only the prescribed surface heat flux and baroclinicity are altered without any fundamental changes in the code's solver.…”
