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
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
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 Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) is a global system for sustained observations of the ocean comprising the oceanographic component of the Global Earth Observing System of Systems . [1] GOOS is administrated by the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC), and joins the Global Climate Observing System, GCOS , and Global ...
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 ...
The Maui Ocean Center is an aquarium and oceanography center located in Maalaea, Hawaii, on the island of Maui. [4] Opened on March 13, 1998, by Coral World International, the 3 acres (1.2 ha) facility is the largest living tropical reef aquarium in the Western Hemisphere.
The Aquarium has had five directors. Frederick A. Potter, a clerk for the Honolulu Rapid Transit Company, was transferred to manage the Aquarium, becoming the first director in 1904. Despite his lack of formal training in marine sciences, Potter was a vigorous supporter of Hawaiian ichthyology, and served as director until May 1940.
