Acknowledgements

• Many people participated in the WHOTS mooring deployment/recovery cruises See Table 2.1 and Table 2.4.

• Thanks are due to all the personnel of the Upper Ocean Processes Group (UOP) at WHOI who prepared the WHOTS buoy’s instrumentation and mooring;

• To Kelsey Maloney, Tully Rohrer, Noah Howins, Ryan Tabata, and James Harris for their technical assistance with the moored and shipboard instrumentation;

• We gratefully acknowledge the support from the colleagues at Sea-Bird to maintain the quality of the CTD data.

• We would also like to thank the captains and crew of the Ship Oscar Sette, and the University of Hawaii (UH) Marine Center staff for their efforts.

• This publication is based upon observations from the WHOI-Hawaii Ocean Time-series Site (WHOTS) mooring, which is supported in part by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Global Ocean Monitoring and Observing (GOMO) Program through the Cooperative Institute for the North Atlantic Region (CINAR) under Cooperative Agreement NA14OAR4320158. NOAA CPO FundRef number 100007298 to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and by National Science Foundation grants OCE-0327513, OCE-0752606 , OCE-0926766 , OCE-1260164 and OCE-1756517 to the University of Hawaii for the Hawaii Ocean Time-series.
