Extent

1 digital object.

Description

This collection contains observations of bulk wave statistics from 10 sites around the island chain of Palau and wave estimates from a spectral refraction model. These observations and model output can be used in conjunction with code available in the following GitHub repository https://github.com/msiegelm/pySRM. Please refer to Siegelman et al. (2025) for more information on processing.
