MPC Pacific Ocean Sea State Analysis Imagery
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/68.023

Summary
The MPC Pacific Ocean Sea State Analysis Imagery (GIF)is one of several
surface products collected as part of the Dynamics and Chemistry of Marine
Stratocumulus PhaseII: Entrainment Studies (DYCOMS-II) project field catalog
operated by the National Center For Atmospheric Research/Earth Observing
Laboratory (NCAR/EOL: http://catalog.eol.ucar.edu/dycoms). The images are
produced by the Marine Predication Center (MPC) every three hours and include
an analysis of the winds and waves over the eastern Pacific Ocean. The
products cover the period from 1-31 July 2001 and cover the region from about
25-70 N and 110-180 W. The products were acquired from the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Hydrometeorological Prediction Center.
