A WMS service that allows you to create cached images among other things of almost all SEACOOS data.

The order of the layers in the &layers list is important. They are stacked in the order listed. I.e. the last layer will appear on the top.

• Base URL
  • http://nautilus.baruch.sc.edu/wms/all_seacoos?service=wms&version=1.1.0
• Available layers
  • RS
    • oi_sst

• Required parameters [ALL ARE REQUIRED] (in addition to the regular WMS requirements of &service, &version, &layers, &BBOX, &HEIGHT, &WIDTH)

Parameter	Possible values (if applicable)	Comments
time_zone_for_formatting_only		TZ for the label
sst_legend_full_range_x_offset		X offset for the SST legend: negative moves it left; default position is bottom R
sst_legend_full_range_y_offset		Y offset for the SST legend: negative moves it up; default position is bottom R
water_level_legend_x_offset		X offset for the WL legend: negative moves it left; default position is bottom R
water_level_legend_y_offset		Y offset for the WL legend: negative moves it up; default position is bottom R
time_offset_hours		number of hours before now(); e.g. if it is 11:00am, and this param = 2, the target report time stamp will be 9:00am
wind_speed_units	knots, mph, mps
water_level_reference	possible values are MLLW, MSL, NAVD88
temperature_units	F, f, C, c
elevation_units	ft, FT, m, M
