Hawaii Ocean Experiment - Budget Of Energy (HOE-BOE)

The Hawaii Ocean Experiment - Budget Of Energy (HOE-BOE) comprised four oceanographic cruises that maintained concurrent scientific research, but also some slight differences in their specific objectives and operational plans. The overall objective of HOE-BOE was to constrain the budget of energy for the euphotic layer of the water column, including the input of solar energy in the biological system, and the transformation and loss of this energy due to biogenic and non-biogenic processes.
