Primary production and sediment trap flux measurements and calculations by the Hawaii Ocean Time-series (HOT) program at Station ALOHA in the North Pacific 100 miles north of Oahu, Hawaii for Cruises HOT1-227 during 1988-2010 (NODC Accession 0089168)

The Hawaii Ocean Time-series (HOT) program makes repeated observations of the physics, biology and chemistry at a site approximately 100 km north of Oahu, Hawaii. Two stations are visited about once a month: Kahe Point (Station 1: 21.34N, 158.27W) and Station ALOHA (Station 2: 22.75N, 158W). Various other stations are made intermittently in support of similar research objectives or mooring deployments.

This NODC Accession contains Carbon Assimilation data consisting of Primary Production and Sediment Trap Particle Flux measurements and calculations during HOT cruises 1-227 occurring in 1988-2010. These data are only taken at Station ALOHA. There are over a dozen cruises without data. Files are organized on a yearly basis of each type.

In separate NODC accessions, there are Water Column Chemical data (JGOFS parameters), CTD, Niskin bottle, and thermosalinograph data sets over HOT cruises 1-227 for Station Aloha and other stations and during transit.
