This tool will showcase near real-time data and wind forecast in the next release.\n\nDescription: The modeled wave peak frequency presented here have been generated by Ocean Networks Canada using the WAVEWATCH IIIR model Version 4.18 (Gemmrich and Dewey, 2017). \nThe WAVEWATCH IIIR model is a third-generation spectral wave model developed by an international science community. Detailed information about the model can be found in Tolman et al. (2002, 2016) and in the model manual, accessible here: http://polar.ncep.noaa.gov/mmab/papers/tn276/MMAB_276.pdf\nThe wave peak frequency is the frequency corresponding to the maximum of the spectral density. The frequency of the waves is the inverse of the period. In this model, the wave peak frequency is calculated from the one-dimensional frequency spectrum using a parabolic fit around the discrete peak.\n\nIn the case of the Salish Sea, this model takes inputs from the NEMO model oceanic currents (see layers and metadata in Weather, Oceanography & Natural Hazards>Currents>Modeled currents) and the Environment Canada High Resolution Deterministic Prediction System (HRDPS) modeled winds (see layers and metadata in Weather, Oceanography, & Natural Hazards>Wind). Both, currents and winds are provided to the model at 3h intervals. The bathymetry grid used for the run of this model is a 500m resolution grid based on a blend of the global relief ETOPO1 (https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/global/global.html) and survey data from the Canadian Hydrographic Service (http://charts.gc.ca).\nFor more information, data and metadata download from this model, please, visit the WAVEWATCH III NOAA website: http://polar.ncep.noaa.gov/waves/index2.shtml\nOcean Networks Canada (ONC) is an international facility hosted by the University of Victoria. ONC operates world-leading ocean observatories, innovative cabled infrastructure that supply continuous power and Internet connectivity to a broad suite of subsea instruments from coastal to deep-ocean environments including those used to measure earthquakes and tsunamis. These are complemented by autonomous or online systems on land, ferries, gliders and fixed mooring. For more information about Ocean Networks Canada, see: http://www.oceannetworks.ca. ONC\u2019s global scientists and partners develop forecasting and early warning systems for sea state, tsunamis, earthquakes and storm surge.\n\nReferences: \n\nGemmrich, J. and Dewey, R.,2017.
