ESRI grid showing wave height and period using satellite derived wave data generated from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology's Wave Model (WAM). This grid has been produced by CSIRO for the National Oceans Office, as part of an ongoing commitment to natural resource planning and management through the 'National Marine Bioregionalisation' project. Data from National Geophysical Data Centre (NGDC) has been supplemented where loss of coverage has occurred in the deep ocean regions.
