One-minute temperature samples were collected from 14 thermistors at 3-meter intervals between 18 and 60 meters depth. The instrument was deployed about a mile south of Honolulu Harbor in waters approximately 260 feet deep, operating from August to November 1997 and May to July 1998. The data were collected by NOAA_NCEI to examine the thermal field near the Sand Island sewage outfall.
Use Cases
- Analyze high-resolution temporal temperature variability based on one-minute sampling intervals
- Model vertical thermal stratification based on measurements from 14 thermistors at 3-meter depth intervals
- Assess environmental impact near sewage outfalls based on thermal field data collected south of the Honolulu reef runway
Strengths
- High temporal resolution with one-minute samples
- Detailed vertical profile with measurements from 14 thermistors at 3-meter intervals between 18 and 60 meters
- Specific geographic context deployed about a mile south of Honolulu Harbor in approximately 260-foot deep waters
Limitations
- Last updated 1998-07-31; freshness should be verified
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
