Variable names had changed in source data unnoticed, resulting in directional spreading values in these two variables, not wave directions. 2023-09-11T19:25:00Z Aggregation now begins at 2013-01-01T21:00:00Z; will restore files since 2010-11-07T21:00:00Z if and when space permits. 2024-08-06T19:14:00Z Aggregation now begins at 2017-01-01T21:00:00Z; will restore older files if and when space permits. ; FMRC Best Dataset

attribute	NC_GLOBAL	summary	String	Through a collaborative effort with NOAA/NCEP and 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.
