GIS vector data 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 Feature Service (WFS) documentation at: http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/services/wfs/. Supported output formats include Shapefile (Zipped), GeoJSON, GeoJSON-P, GML, KML, CSV, and others.
Antimeridian (PACIOOS:world_antimeridian)
The Antimeridian is the +/-180 degree line of longitude, exactly opposite the Prime Meridian. It is often used as the basis for the International Date Line (IDL) because it passes through the open waters of the Pacific Ocean. However, this is a simplification of the actual IDL, which curtails several countries.
