Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS)
Through a collaborative effort with NOAA/National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) and National Weather Service (NWS) Honolulu, the University of Hawaii has implemented a global-scale WaveWatch III (WW3) 7-day model with a 5-day hourly forecast at approximately 50-km or 0.5-deg resolution. The global model is forced with NOAA/NCEP's Global Forecast System (GFS) winds. This model is designed to capture the large-scale ocean waves and provide spectral boundary conditions for the Hawaii and other Pacific regional WW3 models. While considerable effort has been made to implement all model components in a thorough, correct, and accurate manner, numerous sources of error are possible. As such, please use these data with the caution appropriate for any ocean related activity.

New dataset.
20100620
Replaced erroneous sdir and wdir values with fill values over the period 2015-12-30 through 2017-07-10. Variable names had changed in source data unnoticed, resulting in directional spreading values in these two variables, not wave directions.
20211217
Aggregation now begins at 2013-01-01T21:00:00Z; will restore files since 2010-11-07T21:00:00Z if and when space permits.
20230911
Aggregation now begins at 2017-01-01T21:00:00Z; will restore older files if and when space permits.
20240806
Modified standard_name of Tdir variable from sea_surface_wave_from_direction to sea_surface_wave_from_direction_at_variance_spectral_density_maximum to indicate peak wave direction. ;
