Source: Thermosalinograph data from the Hawaii Ocean Time (HOT) Series and
Woods Hole HOT (WHOTS) were submitted to NCEI through an automated process.

Actions: NCEI pulled the data and metadata files from
ftp://ftp.soest.hawaii.edu/hot/tsg/ and
ftp://mananui.soest.hawaii.edu/pub/hot/whots/whots_cruises/
to the data/0-data/ directory. An automated process extracted
metadata and station locations from the data files, and used those
locations to build a station location map.
