In March 2013, the Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Ocean Time-series (HOT<\/abbr>) program<\/a> completed its 250th research expedition to its open ocean field site. After nearly 25 years of near-monthly sampling, HOT<\/abbr> program measurements serve as an important barometer of global change, providing unprecedented views on changes to the subtropical North Pacific Ocean.<\/p>\n

HOT<\/abbr> is based at the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at Mānoa<\/a>, and is supported by research grants from the National Science Foundation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The project has logged more than 1,000 days at sea, providing opportunities for students and researchers at UH<\/abbr> and aboard to engage in oceanographic field research.<\/p>\n

“It is really satisfying to reach this milestone, and to see the growing importance of the HOT<\/abbr> program accomplishments. We initially thought 5 years, maybe 10. Here we are at 25 years and counting,” said David Karl<\/strong>, UH<\/abbr> Mānoa oceanography professor and director of the Center for Microbial Oceanography: Research and Education<\/a>. “Each additional year of observations brings us closer to a fundamental understanding of how the ocean functions and its relationships to climate.”<\/p>\n
