What we’ve learned from two decades of observations in the Hawai’ian Pacific
On June 1, 2024, a collaborative group of scientists successfully deployed a 5,000-pound, sky-blue mooring approximately 60 miles north of Oahu, Hawai’i, from the NOAA Ship Oscar Elton Sette for the 20th consecutive year. This annual deployment is a key activity for the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) Hawai’i Ocean Timeseries (HOT) Site (WHOTS) project.
