[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.

The dataset is a 44-year hindcast (1979-2022) of the wave conditions in Tuvalu using the unstructured version of the third-generation wave model Simulating Waves Nearshore (UnSWAN).

The model domain covers the area between 174.5˚E and 181.5˚W and between 11.5˚S and 4.5˚S. The spatial resolution of the flexible mesh ranges from 20 km offshore, in deep water, to 300 m nearshore, in shallow water. The mesh was generated using OceanMesh2D, a MATLAB based software package for two-dimensional unstructured mesh generation (Roberts et al., 2019). The model was forced with 1-hourly spectral wave boundary conditions and 10 m winds from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) Reanalysis v5 (ERA5). A detailed description of the model can be found in Wandres et al. (2023).
