Scientists working on the Hawaii Ocean Time-series (HOT) program
have been making repeated observations of the hydrography, chemistry
and biology of the water column at a station north of Oahu, Hawaii
since October 1988. The objective of this research is to provide a
comprehensive description of the ocean at a site representative of the
North Pacific subtropical gyre. Cruises are made approximately
once per month to the deep-water Station ALOHA (A Long-Term Oligotrophic
Habitat Assessment; 22° 45'N, 158° 00'W) located 100 km north of Oahu,
Hawaii. Measurements of the thermohaline structure, water column
chemistry, currents, optical properties, primary production, plankton
community structure, and rates of particle export are made on each
cruise.
