Experiment name: WHOTS Principal Investigator: R.Lukas Affiliation: SOEST Hawaii Mooring name: WHOTS-9 Mooring position: 22.767 deg N, 157.904 deg W Instrument depth: 2 meters Seafloor depth: 4668 meters Times: 1304 14 Jun 2012 to 0934 14 Jul 2013 Time increment: 30 minutes Instrument type: SBE-37 MicroCat parameter min mean max stddev days temp (deg C) 22.42 24.58 28.46 1.04 394.88 salinity (PSU) 33.65 35.21 35.52 0.19 394.88 The extreme drop in salinity (about 1.7 psu) registered during 29 and 30 November 2012 does not appear in the data from the MicroCat just below this one, which was at 15 m. Nor does a similar anomaly on 5 December 2012, or some other roughness in the trace near the end of December. Are these real or are they instrument glitches?
