[pacificdata.org](pacificdata.org) – the Pacific Data Hub – is the central repository of open data and knowledge products about the Pacific region. Anyone can access the public data on the Pacific Data Hub. You are encouraged to search, reuse and share the data on pacificdata.org.

The Pacific Data Hub holds a large and diverse collection of data, data insights, publications, and knowledge products on the Pacific across key sectors, including population statistics, fisheries, geoscience, agriculture, aquaculture, energy, education, human rights, climate change, and oceans, and it continues to grow.

While the intention is for the Pacific Data Hub to become a multi-stakeholder-owned and managed platform, it is currently a product of the Pacific Community (SPC), and as such is governed by SPC’s internal documents.

Let us know how you are using the data hub or if you wish to contribute to our data catalogue.

Extraction of the operational global wave forecast system (AUSWAVE-G) of the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) with a resolution of 0.25° for the Pacific region.

This product is an extraction of the full model output provided by BOM. Only the first forecast of the day for a portion of the Pacific and for a few variables is provided here.

Below is the product description on the BOM website (http://www.bom.gov.au/nwp/doc/auswave/data.shtml):

"The AUSWAVE wave model source code was upgraded from the third-generation wind-wave modelling framework WAVEWATCH III® (WW3) version 3.14 to version 4.18 in early 2016. This included the use of a new physical spectral source term package. Operational runs were performed using surface wind data from the Australian Community Climate and Earth-System Simulator (ACCESS). This model was developed and tested by staff in Bureau National Operations Centre and Research and Development. For more details about this upgrade see the Bureau National Operations Centre Operations Bulletin 106.

The global AUSWAVE-G wave system was upgraded to the new version on 26 May 2020 to incorporate the surface winds from the "Australian Parallel Suite 3" (APS3) ACCESS-G, rather than the previous APS2 version. In addition, the regional AUSWAVE-R wave model was upgraded to use the surface winds from ACCESS-G3 rather than ACCESS-R2."
