NOAA Wave Watch III (WW3) Model Output
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/552.014

Summary
This data set contains output from the NOAA Wave Watch III model that is
operationally run by NOAA/NCEP. The model was initialized every six hours at
00, 06, 12, and 18 UTC with forecasts every 3 hours out to 180 hours. Included
in this data set are the global grids in GRIB2 format as well as the ASCII
format bulletins and spectral data.
