This map shows coastal flooding around Honolulu, Hawaii due to 1 meter of sea level rise. This scenario was derived using
a National Geospatial Agency (NGA)-provided digital elevation model (DEM) based on LiDAR data of the Honolulu area collected
in 2009. This "bare earth" DEM (vegetation and structures removed) was used to represent the current topography of the study
area above zero elevation for the urban corridor stretching from Honolulu International Airport to Waikiki and Diamond Head
along the south shore of Oahu. The accuracy of the DEM was validated using a selection of 16 Tidal Benchmarks located within
the study area. The single value tidal water surface of mean higher high water (MHHW) modeled at the Honolulu tide gauge was
used to represent sea level for the purposes of this study. Water levels are shown as they would appear during the highest
high tides (excluding wind-driven tides).Data produced in 2014 by Dr. Charles "Chip" Fletcher of the department of Geology
& Geophysics (G&G) in the School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST) of the University of Hawaii at Manoa. Supported
in part by the NOAA Coastal Storms Program (CSP) and the University of Hawaii Sea Grant College Program. These data do not
consider future changes in coastal geomorphology and natural processes such as erosion, subsidence, or future construction.
These data do not specify timing of inundation depths and are not appropriate for conducting detailed spatial analysis. The
entire risk associated with the results and performance of these data is assumed by the user. These data should be used strictly
as a planning reference and not for navigation, permitting, or other legal purposes.

Description Open Geospatial Consortium Web Map Service - Cached (WMS-C). 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.
This can dramatically improve performance, especially for larger datasets. Supported map formats include JPEG and PNG. Supported
info formats include GeoJSON, GML, HTML, and plain text.
OGC web services (WMS and WFS) enabled by PacIOOS via GeoServer. Original data from source provider may have been reformatted,
reprojected, or adjusted in other ways to optimize these capabilities.
