Wave Power Long-term Mean, 2002-2012 - American Samoa
Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS)Wave power is a major environmental forcing mechanism 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…

Sea Surface Temperature (SST) Standard Deviation of Long-term Mean, 1985-2018 - American Samoa
Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS)Sea surface temperature (SST) plays an important role in a number of ecological processes and can vary over a wide range of time scales, from daily to decadal changes. SST influences primary production, species migration patterns, and coral health. If…

Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) Standard Deviation of Long-term Mean, 2003-2018 - American Samoa
Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS)Solar irradiance is one of the most important factors influencing coral reefs. As a majority of their nutrients are obtained from symbiotic photosynthesizing organisms, reef-building corals need sunlight as a fundamental source of energy. Seasonally low…

Coastal Habitat Modification - American Samoa
Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS)Coastal habitats are utilized and altered for a suite of human uses. Habitat modification is here defined as the alteration or removal of geomorphic structure as a result of human use. This includes several habitat-modifying features like seawalls, piers,…
