| Title: | Next generation vector averaging current meter data from the WHOI Hawaii Ocean Timeseries Site (WHOTS) program in the North Pacific from 2004 to 2011 (NODC Accession 0098789) |
| Abstract: | The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) Hawaii Ocean Timeseries (HOT) Site (WHOTS) is a coordinated part of HOT, and consists of a mooring that has been providing measurements of high-quality air-sea fluxes and the associated upper ocean response at Station ALOHA, about 100 km north of Oahu, Hawaii since August 2004. WHOTS is funded by NOAA and NSF and it is led by the WHOI Upper Ocean Processes Group. The WHOTS mooring is located at station ALOHA (a 6 nautical mile radius circle centered at 22 45'N, 158 W) in the central subtropical gyre of the North Pacific. The mooring has been in place for one-year periods since 2004 at a location that has been alternating between the eastern and southern edges of ALOHA. This NODC accession contains Next Generation Vector Averaging Current Meter (NGVM) measurements at 10 and 30 m depths for the first 7 WHOTS deployments (2004-2011). The northward and eastward current components are provided within NetCDF files (OceanSITES time-series Conventions 1.2). NODC accession 0090188 holds temperature and conductivity (salinity) data collected using SeaBird SBE-16 SeaCAT and SBE-37 MicroCAT instruments for the first 7 WHOTS deployments (2004-2011). Additional data for currents from ADCPs will be provided for WHOTS deployments 1-7. |
