        Title: 
          Simulating WAves Nearshore (SWAN) Regional Wave Model: Guam
    Description: 
      Abstract: 
        Simulating WAves Nearshore (SWAN) regional wave model 7-day output with 
        a 5-day hourly forecast for the island of Guam at approximately 500-m 
        resolution. This high-resolution model is utilized to capture shallow 
        water effects and nearshore coastal dynamics such as refracting, 
        shoaling, and smaller scale shadowing. It is run directly after the 
        Mariana Islands regional WaveWatch III (WW3) wave model (ww3_mariana) 
        has completed. Please note that some of the nested model setup is 
        still in the testing and validation phase. While considerable effort 
        has been made to implement all model components in a thorough, 
        correct, and accurate manner, numerous sources of error are possible. 
        As such, please use these data with the caution appropriate for any 
        ocean related activity.
      Purpose: 
        PacIOOS provides timely, reliable, and accurate ocean information to 
        support a safe, clean, productive ocean and resilient coastal zone in 
        the U.S. Pacific Islands region.
