Great Barrier Reef non-cyclonic and on-reef wave model predictions

Full description

Data is contained in NetCDF format (see https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/) and readable by a range of software (QGIS, python, gfortran). The Great Barrier Reef is broken into four regions (Far Northern Queensland, Cairns to Cooktown, Townsville to Whitsunday and Mackay and Capricorn), and includes a range of wave parameters including significant wave height, peak wave period, wave energy density, wave energy flux, still water and near bed characteristic velocity amplitude, each at mean, maximum and several percentiles (90, 95 & 99) in between.
