Summary Abstract: The AMRC has been archiving the National Centers for Environmental Prediction's (formerly the National Meteorological Center) Wind and Wave Forecast Model (WWFM). This collection can be very useful, as it is a smoothed data set over the data sparse Antarctic region, with a focus on ocean wave and surface wind information.
