  Description:
    Abstract:
      The Hawaii Undersea Research Laboratory (HURL) was established by the 
      National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the University 
      of Hawaii. Its mission is to study deep water marine processes in the 
      Pacific Ocean.   The primary means of surveying are through
      use of the Submersible Pisces V, with a depth penetration to
      just beyond 2 Km.  The submersible is equipped
      with a CTD device.  This dataset represents the CTD data
      for dives throughout all Hawaiian Islands and seamounts
      during 1990-1999.  The data have not received calibration
      other than what was provided by the SeaBird Electronics
      CTD agreement.  Also, the data have not been rigorously
      quality controlled.  Use the data with discretion.  Please
      inform the HURL data management team if questionable
      signals are encountered.  HURL or NOAA are not responsible
      for misuse of the data.
    Purpose:
      The mission of HURL is to study deep water marine processes in the 
      Pacific Ocean.

      Process_Description:
        The CTD is turned on for each dive and runs
        on a fairly continuous basis.  The data are digitally
        stored and later converted to scientific units.
        The final data do not receive rigorous quality
        control or calibration.  Use the data with
        discretion.
