Ocean wave hindcast, using the WaveWatch III v4.08 wave model forced with NCEP CFSR hourly winds and daily sea ice, 1979-2010.\n\nThe dataset contains spectral wave output at 3683 points, as well as gridded outputs on a global 0.4 degree (24 arcminute) grid, with nested Australian and western Pacific subgrids of 10 and 4 arcminutes resolution. For further information, see Durrant et al (in prep)**.\n\nN.B. January 1979 is a "model spin-up" month and data from this month should not be used for research purposes.\n\nSpectral wave parameters output:\ntime; station; longitude; latitude;\nfrequency; frequency1; frequency2 (centre, upper and lower bands);\ndirection;\nEfth (sea surface wave directional variance spectral density);\ndepth;\nu10m; udir (wind speed and direction 10m above surface);\ncurr; currdir (sea water speed and direction).\n\nGridded parameters output:\nlongitude; latitude; time;\nMAPSTA (status map) ;\nU10; V10 (Eastward and Northward wind);\nCI (sea ice area fraction) ;\nhs (significant wave height);\nwl (mean wave length) ;\nt02 (mean wave period Tm02); t (mean period Tm01); tm0m1(mean period Tm0-1);\nCgE (wave energy flux);\nfp (peak wave frequency);\ndir (mean wave direction); spr (directional spread); dp (peak direction);\nhs0; hs1; hs2; hs3 (significant wave height partitions);\ntp0; tp1; tp2; tp3 (peak period partitions);\nlp0; lp1; lp2; lp3 (mean wave length partitions);\nth0; th1; th2; th3 (mean wave direction partitions);\nsi0; si1; si2; si3 (directional spread partitions);\nws0; ws1; ws2; ws3 (wind sea fraction partitions); wsf (wind sea fraction);\npnr (number of wave partitions);\ndtd (dynamic time step);\nuust; vust (eastward, northward friction velocities);\ncha (Charnock coefficient);\nfaw (wind to wave energy flux);\nutaw; vtaw (eastward, northward wave supported wind stress);\nutwa; vtwa (eastward, northward wave to wind stress);\nwcc (whitecap coverage);\nSxx; Syy; Sxy (radiation stress components);\nutwo; vtwo (eastward, northward wave to ocean stress);\nuuss; vuss (eastward, ...
