Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS) GeoServer Web Map Service (WMS)

GIS map layers from the Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS) of the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST) at the University of Hawaii at Manoa (UH). PacIOOS is one of eleven regional observing programs in the U.S. supporting the Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS). The PacIOOS region includes the U.S. Pacific Region (Hawaii, Guam, American Samoa, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands), the Pacific nations in Free Association with the U.S. (Republic of the Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Republic of Palau), and the U.S. Minor Outlying Islands (Howland, Baker, Johnston, Jarvis, Kingman, Palmyra, Midway, Wake). These data are served via GeoServer in a variety of interoperable data services and output formats: http://geo.pacioos.hawaii.edu/geoserver/. See http://geoserver.org for further documentation; and GeoServer's Web Map Service (WMS) documentation at: http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/services/wms/. Supported map formats include PNG, JPEG, GIF, PDF, GeoTIFF, TIFF, KML/KMZ, AtomPub, GeoRSS, OpenLayers, SVG, UTFGrid, and others. Supported info formats include GeoJSON, GML, HTML, XML, plain text, and others. Please note that cached versions of some of our larger and more complex map layers exist in our GeoServer via GeoWebCache (GWC) using WMS-C. This would be the preferred method of accessing such data layers for improved access speeds: http://geo.pacioos.hawaii.edu/geoserver/gwc/service/wms?request=GetCapabilities&version=1.1.1&tiled=true. Use of WMS-C is similar to traditional WMS but with the addition of the "tiled=true" URL parameter, which triggers GeoServer to pull map tiles from GWC if they have been previously generated or to generate them for future usage if not.
