Thermosalinograph data of the Hawaii Ocean Time-series (HOT) Program in the North Pacific 100 miles north of Oahu, Hawaii, for cruises AC1-2, HA1-5, and HOT1-105 from 1999-12-05 to 1998-12-16 (NCEI Accession 9900213)
The HOT program makes repeated observations of the physics, biology and chemistry at a site approximately 100 km north of Oahu, Hawaii. Two stations are visited about once a month: Kahe Point (Station 1: 21.34N, 158.27W) and Station ALOHA (Station 2: 22.75N, 158W). Various other stations are made intermittently in support of similar research objectives or mooring deployments. HOT thermosalinograph data have been obtained since cruise 63 using a SBE-21 Seacat thermosalinograph system. Data are recorded every 10 seconds from water collected by a continuous seawater system aboard R/V Moana Wave from a depth of about 3 meters.
As part of the HOT program two transect cruises (ALOHA-Climax: AC) have been conducted near the HOT area, from Oahu along the TOPEX line to station Climax (~28N, 155 20'W).
Water samples have been obtained at station HALE-ALOHA during cruises conducted for retrieval and/or re-deployment of the bottom-moored buoy. These casts are used for calibration of the sensors attached to the mooring.

Supplemental Information | Note: Metadata for this accession were extracted from a legacy database maintained by the U.S. National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC). The design of the database did not exactly reflect the FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM). Principal Investigator (PI) and organization contact information accurately represents all available information from the legacy database at the time that this description was created. However, proper attribution of a PI to a specific institution or the role (submitting or collecting) taken by an institution may not be correct due to inexact mapping between fields in the legacy database and the CSDGM. Due to this uncertainty, the contact information was initially recorded in the Supplemental Information element of the CSDGM description. To develop more accurate metadata, NCEI reviews metadata for all accessions on an ongoing basis.

Purpose | The objective is to support studies of the earth as a system of interrelated physical, chemical, and biological processes that act together to regulate the habitability of our planet. The first goal is to understand the earth-ocean-atmosphere system and how it functions. The second goal is to describe, and eventually predict, major cause-and-effect relationships. The former goal is focused on physical oceanographic processes and the latter on biogeochemical processes. The objective of the physical component of HOT is to describe and understand the ocean climate and variability at a deep-water site in the North Pacific subtropical gyre near Hawaii. This requires a long time series of physical oceanographic variables, including water mass properties and currents, supporting and complementing the objectives of the biogeochemical component of HOT. The objective of the biogeochemical component is summed up in the acronym Station ALOHA (A Long-term Oligotrophic Habitat Assessment) as well as its part in the larger picture (ocean-atmosphere-earth system). |
