WHOI Hawaii Ocean Timeseries Station (WHOTS) : WHOTS-2 mooring turnaround cruise report
The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) Hawaii Ocean Timeseries (HOT) Site (WHOTS), 100 km north of Oahu,
Hawaii, is intended to provide long-term, high-quality air-sea fluxes as a coordinated part of the HOT program and contribute to
the goals of observing heat, fresh water and chemical fluxes at a site representative of the oligotrophic North Pacific Ocean. This
report documents recovery of the WHOTS-1 mooring, deployed in August 2004 near 22.75°N, 158°W, and deployment of the
WHOTS-2 mooring at the same site. Both moorings were outfitted with Air-Sea Interaction Meteorology (ASIMET) systems to
measure, record, and transmit the surface meteorological variables necessary to compute air-sea fluxes of heat, moisture and
momentum. In cooperation with R. Lukas of the University of Hawaii, the upper 155 m of the moorings were outfitted with
oceanographic sensors for the measurement of temperature, conductivity and velocity. The WHOTS mooring turnaround was done
on the Scripps Institution of Oceanography Ship Melville, Cruise TUIM-10MV. The cruise took place between 23 and 30 July
2005.Funding was provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
under Grant No. NA17RJ1223 and the Cooperative Institute for Climate and Ocean Research (CICOR)
