We returned to Snug Harbor at 2100 on 27 July. Kahe Point was occupied on the outbound transit and approximately 72 hours was spent at Station ALOHA. WOCE & JGOFS Sampling The WOCE deep cast and the CTD burst sampling was obtained on HOT-19. CTD and XBT Operations Although there were no serious problems with CTD operations on HOT-19, there were several minor problems with the pylon. During the cruise, pylon positions 4, 12 and 18 were removed from service. Also, the flash fluorometer trace was somewhat noisier than usual, apparently due to the fluorometer cable which was showing signs of corrosion. XBTs were dropped en route to Station ALOHA. Primary Production and Sediment Trap Measurements Primary production was measured in situ for 12 hours. No on-deck incubations were conducted. Sediment traps were deployed and recovered without problems. Optical Measurements Optical casts were completed at Kahe Point. Ancillary projects Samples were dissolved gases were collected for Charles Keeling of Scripps and for Steve Emerson and Paul Quay of the University of Washington. Samples were also collected for UH researchers Lisa Campbell and Daniel Vaulot and UH graduate students Peter Sedwick, Ricardo Letelier and John Dore. REU (Research Experience for Undergraduates) students Dave Rose and Ian Gilbert also obtained samples for their work.
