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/.

Wave Power Maximum Monthly Climatological Mean, 1979-2013 - Hawaii
Wave power is a major environmental forcing mechanism in Hawaii that influences a number of marine ecosystem processes including coral reef community development, structure, and persistence. By driving mixing of the upper water column, wave forcing can also play a role in nutrient availability and ocean temperature reduction during warming events. Wave forcing in Hawaii is highly seasonal, with winter months typically experiencing far greater wave power than that experienced during the summer months. This layer represents the maximum monthly climatological mean of wave power (kW/m) from 1979-2013. Data were obtained from the University of Hawaii at Manoa (UH) School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST) SWAN model (Simulating WAves Nearshore) following Li et al. (2016).
Hourly 500-m SWAN model runs of wave power were converted to maximum daily wave power from 1979-2013 and then averaged over each month from 1979-2013, creating a monthly time series from which monthly climatologies were made. Pixels were removed directly adjacent to coastlines owing to the model being too coarse to handle extreme refraction and dissipation. 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.
