WFSPacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS) WFSData 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/wfs/. Lastly, GeoExplorer can be used to view these layers online at http://geo.pacioos.hawaii.edu/geoexplorer/.WFS, PacIOOS, IOOS, ocean observing, Pacific, US Affiliated Territories, GeoServerhttp://geo.pacioos.hawaii.edu/geoserver/PACIOOS/hi_pacioos_maui_westmaui_photos/wfsNONENONEPACIOOS:hi_pacioos_maui_westmaui_photosWest Maui Wave Run-up Forecast ValidationThe Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS), University of Hawaii School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology Department of Oceanography, and Hawaii Sea Grant are developing a high-resolution, real-time wave run-up forecast and notification system for West Maui's coastline. In order to validate the site-specific, short-term forecasts and to determine meaningful thresholds associated with each forecast domain, citizen scientists contribute crowd-sourced photographs by documenting the shoreline of West Maui during predicted wave run-up events. Photos, observations, date, time, location, and other metadata are submitted online in this free, publicy-accessible dataset.
Site-specific, short- and long-term forecasts, will strengthen West Maui's coastal community and economy by enhancing preparedness and response operations, and by informing future land use planning. A combination of high water levels and large wave swells can result in significant coastal erosion, damage to infrastructure and properties, and land-based sedimentation that impairs coastal water quality. The State of Hawaii has experienced an increase in wave plus tide-driven flooding in recent years, and these events are expected to grow in numbers and duration due to sea level rise and changing wave energies.
