The primary purpose of this regional model is to capture island effects such as island shadowing, refraction, and accurate modeling of local wind waves. NWHI WW3 is forced with winds from the University of Hawaii Meteorology Department's operational mesoscale model, which has a more suitable spatial resolution than the global scale wind field. 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."; String testOutOfDate "now+105hours"; String time_coverage_end "2024-11-11T18:00:00Z"; String time_coverage_resolution "PT1H"; String time_coverage_start "2014-12-20T21:00:00Z"; String title "WaveWatch III (WW3) Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI) Regional Wave Model"; Float64 Westernmost_Easting 190.0; } }
The URL specifies what you want: the dataset, a description of the graph or the subset of the data, and the file type for the response.
griddap request URLs must be in the form
https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/griddap/datasetID.fileType{?query}
For example,
https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/griddap/jplMURSST41.htmlTable?analysed_sst[(2002-06-01T09:00:00Z)][(-89.99):1000:(89.99)][(-179.99):1000:(180.0)]
Thus, the query is often a data variable name (e.g., analysed_sst),
followed by [(start):stride:(stop)]
(or a shorter variation of that) for each of the variable's dimensions
(for example, [time][latitude][longitude]).
