Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS) WMS
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. 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 using 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 WFS documentation at: http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/services/wms/. Please note that cached versions of many of these map layers exist in our GeoServer via GeoWebCache using WMS-C. This would be the preferred method of accessing some of the larger 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" parameter, which triggers GeoServer to pull map tiles from GeoWebCache if they have been previously generated. Lastly, GeoExplorer can be used to view these layers online at http://geo.pacioos.hawaii.edu/geoexplorer/.

Chlorophyll-a Standard Deviation of Long-Term Mean, 2002-2013 - Hawaii
Chlorophyll-a is a widely used proxy for phytoplankton biomass and an indicator for changes in phytoplankton production. As an essential source of energy in the marine environment, the extent and availability of phytoplankton biomass can be highly influential for fisheries production and dictate trophic structure in marine ecosystems. Changes in phytoplankton biomass are predominantly effected by changes in nutrient availability, through either natural (e.g., turbulent ocean mixing) or anthropogenic (e.g., agricultural runoff) processes. This layer represents the standard deviation of the 8-day time series of chlorophyll-a (mg/m3) from 2002-2013. Monthly and 8-day 4-km (0.0417-degree) spatial resolution data were obtained from the MODIS (Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) Aqua satellite instrument from the NASA OceanColor website (http://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov).
The standard deviation was calculated over all 8-day chlorophyll-a data from 2002-2013 for each pixel. A quality control mask was applied to remove spurious data associated with shallow water, following Gove et al., 2013. Nearshore map pixels with no data were filled with values from the nearest neighboring valid offshore pixel by using a grid of points and the Near Analysis tool in ArcGIS then converting points to raster.
