In this work we investigate the behavior of stable marine boundary layers located near the coast of the Northeastern United States. Using the ExaWind large eddy simulation (LES) codes, three stable atmospheric conditions were chosen to match the Cape Wind measurements of Archer et al. with wind speeds of 5 m/s, 10 m/s, and 15 m/s at the 20 m measurement height. The behavior of the stable boundary layers, including mean flow quantities and turbulent statistics, are examined and compared to previous computations of the neutral and unstable offshore boundary layer at the same location. This study also examines the domain and mesh requirements necessary to capture the turbulent scales for the stable offshore boundary layers. Finally, we compare solutions computed using both Nalu-Wind and AMR-Wind solvers, and compare their predicted solutions and performance in this study.
