To assist in the interpretation of the data, it can be displayed using the Hawaii Ocean Time-series Data Organization & Graphical System (HOT-DOGS©).

Sampling Procedure

Incident irradiance (400-700 nm wavelength band) at the sea surface was measured on each HOT cruise with a LI-COR LI-1500 data logger and cosine collector. The instrument recorded data from the time the ship departed the UH Marine Center until its return.

Results

Incident irradiance measured during the cruise is shown in the upper panel in the figures below. The red, blue & green lines represent the minimum, average & maximum light values respectively of 10-minute intervals. The total incident irradiance measured when the primary production array was out (represented by the light-blue shaded area) is also calculated and included at the top of each figure.

• HOT-335 : Mar 22
  
• HOT-336 : May 22
  
• HOT-337 : Jul 22
  
• HOT-338 : Aug 22
  
• HOT-339 : Sep 22
  

Incident irradiance is dependent on cloud cover, so it can potentially vary greatly from cruise-to-cruise or even day-to-day. But in general, as would be expected, higher values are measured during the summer months (HOT-338) and lower values in the winter months. To help interprete the results, integrated incident irradiance measured during the Primary Production incubation period is included in Table xxx.
