Title: CARICOOS WRF-NMM 1km, Best Aggregated

Summary:
The CARICOOS Weather Research Forecast (Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF)) model consists of a high horizontal resolution of 1 km is based on the WRF Nonhydrostatic Mesoscale Model (NMM) core. WRF-NMM was developed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP). The model is run daily for cycle 00Z to produce a forecast length of 36 hours, but this only include the fisrt 24 hours which are consider as the Hindcast. Boundary and initials conditions are provided by the Global Forecast System (GFS) and Sea Surface Temperature (SST) from NASA Short-term Prediction Research and Transition Center (SPoRT).

Title: Near-Real Time Surface Ocean Velocity, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, 2km Resolution, 2025-present

Summary:
Surface ocean velocities estimated from High Frequency (HF)-Radar are representative of the upper 1.0 meters of the ocean.  The main objective of near-real time processing is to produce the best product from available data at the time of processing. Radial velocity measurements are obtained from individual radar sites through the U.S. HF-Radar Network. Hourly radial data are processed by unweighted least squares on a 2km resolution grid of the Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands to produce near real-time surface current maps.

VARIABLES (all of which use the dimensions [time][latitude][longitude]):
u (Surface Eastward Sea Water Velocity, m s-1)

Title: SWAN model simulation (1 km) for Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands, 2023-present

Summary:
Model output from the CARICOOS Nearshore Wave Model, a state of the art wave forecast system based on the Simulating Waves Nearshore (Simulating WAves Nearshore model (SWAN)) spectral wave model.  Model is run twice daily on CARICOOS HPC facilites.  Only the regional PR-USVI grid is included in this product, however, high-resolution subgrid output is available upon request. Starting with Version 2 in 2012 the model output collection has progressed through several model versions.  The latest version, SWAN Version 8, came online on November 30, 2018. All model versions share the same spatial grid and a standard set of output variables.
