attribute NC_GLOBAL summary String Simulating WAves Nearshore (SWAN) regional wave model 14-day hourly forecast for the Republic of Palau at approximately 275-m (0.0025-deg) resolution. This high-resolution model is designed to capture key coastal wave dynamics, including refraction, shoaling, and breaking. It is run after the completion of the global and regional WaveWatch III (WW3) wave models, using their outputs as boundary conditions. Please note that some components of the model setup are still in the testing and validation phase. While considerable effort has been made to implement all model components in a thorough, correct, and accurate manner, various sources of uncertainty and error remain. As such, please use these data with the appropriate caution, especially for activities involving ocean safety or decision-making.
