Sea surface bucket temperatures from HOT cruises 128 through 132 were corrected. The temperatures were too high as compared to near-surface CTD temperature data, probably due to a faulty bucket thermometer.

Correction offsets for these cruises were 0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.52, and 0.6 degC respectively; obtained by comparing the CTD temperatures with the bucket temperatures taken at the beginning of each cast.
