Title: Johnston Atoll of Hawaii Pacific Marine Time Series Data Held by the USGS

Description:

Abstract:

Time-series oceanographic data for the Pacific Ocean in the vicinity of Johnston Atoll, collected by the USGS or used in conjunction with USGS projects. These data are stored as NetCDF files using conventions developed by NOAA's Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) lab to be compatible with their EPIC system. The hourly data is available online through the USGS Coastal Marine Time Series Browser "http://stellwagen.er.usgs.gov/". Variables include current, temperature, pressure, conductivity, light transmission (beam attenuation) and others. Available data sets for Hawaii: * Mamala Bay (Jun 1996 - Aug 1997) * Molokai (Jan-Apr 2001; Nov 2001 - Feb 2002)
