Mean data from station ALOHA CTD casts. During HOT cruises, CTD casts are conducted at station ALOHA to a depth of 1000 m for a period of 36 hours at 3-hour intervals. The purpose of this is to average out the local near-inertial and tidal periods and therefore preventing the aliasing of longer-term fluctuations whose detection is one of the main objectives of the WOCE Hydrographic Time-series program. The ensemble of 2-dbar CTD casts is averaged at each pressure interval and written to a file named hot***.mn, where *** is the cruise number. Each file contains pressure, temperature and salinity data, and some also have dissolved oxygen, light transmission, and fluorescence. The data records are written so that they can be read with a simple program read statement. Details of this format are given in the file Readme.format.
