The PacIOOS area covers eight time zones, [2] and 2300 individual islands associated with the U.S. [3] Observation priorities are public safety, direct economic value, and environmental preservation. [2] Among ocean characteristics reported are: [1] Currents forecast; Shoreline impacts such as high sea level
The Hawaii Ocean Time-series (HOT) program is a long-term oceanographic study based at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.In 2015, the American Society for Microbiology designated the HOT Program's field site Station ALOHA (A Long-Term Oligotrophic Habitat Assessment; ()) a "Milestone in Microbiology", for playing "a key role in defining the discipline of microbial oceanography and educating ...
improved capability for ocean color observations in coastal and turbid waters; improved interpretation of sea-ice data from satellites; satellite measurement of salinity; Observing system evaluation and design, including improvements in air-sea flux parameterizations. Improvements in ocean platforms, including increased capabilities for Argo floats
The U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System consists of eleven independent Regional Associations (RAs) that serve stakeholder needs within their respective regions. From a coastal perspective, the global ocean component is critical for providing data and information on basin scale forcings (e.g., ENSO events), as well as providing the data and ...
Hawaii Pacific University in Honolulu and Kaneohe, Hawaii. Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport, Oregon is operated by Oregon State University, College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences. CEOAS; Hopkins Marine Station, run by Stanford University, in Monterey, California. Hopkins; Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute in Monterey ...
The data from the GDP have been used by oceanographers to derive maps of lateral diffusivity and Lagrangian length- and time-scales across the Pacific. [7] Other uses include studies of plastic accumulation the ocean, [8] and climatological models that simulate equatorial ocean currents, as well as many others.
MOBY has contributed to the calibration of the Ocean Color and Temperature Sensor (OCTS), the polarization detection environmental radiometer , and the Modular Optoelectronic Scanner (IRS1-MOS). [2] Long term sensors on the sea surface, such as MOBY, help improve the quality of the global ocean color observation system. [3] [4]
The Waikiki Aquarium was established on March 19, 1904, by the Honolulu Rapid Transit Authority, a forerunner of the present-day TheBus.Then known as the Honolulu Aquarium, its purpose was to entice travelers to ride the trolley all the way to the end of the line at Queen Kapiʻolani Park.
