Thermosalinograph data of the Hawaii Ocean Time-series (HOT) program in the North Pacific 100 miles north of Oahu, Hawaii for cruises HOT259-268 during 2014 (NCEI Accession 0140225)

The HOT program makes repeated observations of the physics, biology and chemistry at a site approximately 100 km north of Oahu, Hawaii. The program began in 1988. 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 NCEI Accession contains thermosalinograph data for HOT cruises 259-268 during 2014. HOT thermosalinograph data have been obtained since HOT cruise 63 using a SBE-21 Seacat thermosalinograph system. Data are recorded every 10 seconds from water collected by a continuous seawater system aboard the various vessels used during the program from a depth between 3 and 6 meters. These data are processed and quality controlled.HOT计划（HOT program）对夏威夷瓦胡岛以北约100公里的观测站点开展周期性重复观测，覆盖该区域的物理、生物与化学过程。该计划于1988年正式启动，每月定期造访两个固定观测站点：卡赫角（1号站：21.34°N，158.27°W）与ALOHA站（2号站：22.75°N，158°W）。此外，为支撑同类研究目标或锚系布设作业，项目组还会间歇性开展其他站点的观测工作。本NCEI存档包含2014年HOT航次259至268的温盐计（thermosalinograph）观测数据。自HOT航次63起，项目组便采用SBE-21 Seacat型温盐计系统获取HOT计划的温盐观测数据。该类数据由项目各执行船舶搭载的连续海水采集系统，在3至6米水深处采集海水样本后，以每10秒一次的频率记录。所有数据均经过标准化处理与质量控制。
