Prime Meridian

Description

The Prime Meridian is the meridian (line of longitude) at which the longitude is defined to be 0 degrees. The Prime Meridian and its opposite, the Antimeridian (at +/-180 degrees longitude), form a "great circle" that divides the Earth into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. By international convention, the Prime Meridian passes through the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, in southeast London, known as the International Meridian or Greenwich Meridian.

51 Open Geospatial Consortium Web Feature Service (WFS). Supported WFS versions include 1.0.0, 1.1.0, and 2.0.0. Supported output formats include CSV, GeoJSON, GeoJSON-P, GML, KML, and Shapefile (Zipped). http://geo.pacioos.hawaii.edu/geoserver/PACIOOS/world_prime_meridian/ows?service=WFS&version=1.0.0&request=GetCapabilities
52 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. http://geo.pacioos.hawaii.edu/geoserver/PACIOOS/gwc/service/wms?service=WMS&version=1.1.1&request=GetCapabilities&tiled=true
52 Open Geospatial Consortium Web Map Service (WMS). Supported WMS versions include 1.1.1 and 1.3.0. Supported map formats include AtomPub, GeoRSS, GeoTIFF, GIF, JPEG, KML/KMZ, PDF, PNG, SVG, and TIFF. Supported info formats include GeoJSON, GeoJSON-P, GML, HTML, and plain text. http://geo.pacioos.hawaii.edu/geoserver/PACIOOS/world_prime_meridian/ows?service=WMS&version=1.3.0&request=GetCapabilities
