WATER TEMPERATURE and DEPTH - SENSOR collected from NOAA Ship OSCAR ELTON SETTE in Hawaii EEZ, main Hawaiian Islands, and Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument from 2010-09-02 to 2010-10-26 (NCEI Accession 0155914)

XBT data were collected during a Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center's Cetacean Research Program's shipboard cetacean survey (Cruise ID: SE 10-08). XBT casts were conducted four times each day (morning, midday, afternoon, evening) along the survey tracklines within the Hawaii EEZ. If a CTD cast could not be conducted because of wind and swell conditions an XBT cast was conducted instead. Lockheed Martin Sippican Deep Blue XBTs were used (terminal depths were 760 m).
