 The PRR instruments are deployed during the Hawaii Ocean Time-Series (HOT) Program cruises. These cruises are made approximately once a month off the coast of Hawaii. A map of the area and stations visited can be viewed at the HOT map page. After departure from Honolulu, Oahu, the typical stations visited are: |
||||
| Day | Station | Location | Depth | Station Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Kahe Point | 21°20.6' N, 158°16.4' W | 1500 m | coastal |
| 2 | Stn. ALOHA | a 6 nautical mile radius centered at: 22°45.0' N, 158°00.0' W |
4800 m | open ocean |
| 3 | Stn. ALOHA | a 6 nautical mile radius centered at: 22°45.0' N, 158°00.0' W |
4800 m | open ocean |
| 4 | Hale-ALOHA buoy (visited irregularly) | 22°27.5' N, 158°11.6' W (varies slightly with each deployment) |
4830 m | full ocean-depth mooring |
| PRR measurements are generally made at each of these stations near the time of the SeaWiFS overpass (12:00-14:00 HST). The Hale-ALOHA buoy is only visited irregularly.
