FNMOC WW3 grids have been testing on EDEX ingest but are not available in the CAVE menus yet. Both will be added to an upcoming release. The pattern actions for the different domains on NGRID (for GEMPAK dcgrib2) are: # NOAAport Wave Watch 3 grids NGRID E.A.88 KWBJ (..)(..)

The question is how to get those data and I don't have an answer for you.
