Title: Niskin Bottle Data of the Hawaii Ocean Time-series (HOT) program in the North Pacific 100 Miles North of Oahu, Hawaii for Cruises HOT218-227 during 2010 (NCEI Accession 0087596)
Abstract: 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.

Samples of water column chemical analyses were collected mostly in the upper 1000m using Niskin bottles mounted on a rosette. The strategy was to sample at density horizons within the main thermocline at pressure horizons above and below this region (i.e., 2000 dbar). Care was applied to ensure the highest possible accuracy and precision.

This NODC Accession contains Niskin Bottle data for HOT cruises 218-227 during 2010. CTD and thermosalinograph data from the same cruises are available in separate Accessions.

Cruise 218 was a short cruise due to equipment problems and only has one CTD cast and no thermosalinograph data.
