United States Department of the Interior. Douglas McKay. Secretary Fish and Wildlife Service, John L. Farley. Director An announcement (which read as follows) was recently Issued by the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries Biological Laboratory j Honolulu:, concern- ing an error in depths of reversal computed from the readings of unpro- tected and protected reversing thermometers s "Recently,, it was discovered that the depths of reversal of the Hansen bottles, as calculated at the Honolulu Biological Laboratory from temperature differences of unprotected and protected reversing thermometers f are in error ^ These depths ^ x^htch are in excess of the correct depth, may be reduced to the proper value by the use of a cor- rection factor J as described below. At the time the data processing system in use at this laboratory was being establlsbed^ a table of the factor l/CQxpm) was prepared for use in computing the depths of reversal from the readings of unprotected thermometers; Q represents the pressure-constant of an unprotected ther- mometer, and pm represents the mean density of the water column above the depth of thermometer reversal, which was taken to be 1,0303 in all cases. An error occurred in the calculation such thatj instead of l/CO'tPm)* the table consisted of values of (l/Q)»Pn,, This error is present in all of the depth data which have been published by this labo- ratory under its previous name. Pacific Oceanic Fishery Investigations, and under its present name^ Honolulu Biological Laboratory, up to and including 1960„ Therefore, in making use of the data published by this laboratory before 1961 ^ all depths should be corrected by dividing each by Cfm) 9 which is equal to 1.0615, Multiplication of all the published depths by 0.942 will give the proper value for the depth of each observa- tion," Subsequent analyses have showtni that the error described above is present only in the data from those cruises made by vessels of the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries Biological Laboratory 5, Honolulu, after Hugh M, Smith cruise 20 (February-April 1953), Cruises for which data containing this error have been published are listed belov? with the appropriate publica- tion references.

Smith cruise 21 61 In conjunction with the Pacific Oceanic Fishery Investigations' study of the tuna resources of the central Pacific, the hydrography of Hawaiian offshore waters was investigated during six oceanographic survey cruises. The first three of these, Hugh M. Smith cruises I, 10, and 12 of December 1949, July 1951, and October 1951, were ana- lyzed and recorded by McGary (1955). This report covers the ren:iain- ing cruises 17, 20, and 21 of the Hugh M. Smith, which took place September 5 to September 15, 1952, February 25 to April 4, 1953, and August 4 to August 26, 1953 respectively. On Hugh M. Smith cruise 26, May and June 1954, additional oceanographic data were obtained in con- junction with skipjack scouting. These have not been analyzed in this report but are tabulated in the appendix. The principal observations consisted of routine temperature . and salinity sampling together with 200-meter oblique plankton hauls.— Reliable inorganic phosphate-phosphorus data were obtained on cruise 21. The hydrographic data were collected and processed by methods described by Cromwell (1954), Stroup (1954), and McGary (1955). Each cruise is discussed separately using a similar outline for each. A short sumnnary of the cruise report is given first to indicate the nature of the observations. This is followed by a brief summary of the weather conditions encountered during the cruise. The hydrographic data are then analyzed in two major groups, first those fronn the surface layer and then those from the subsurface layers. In the former the distributions of temperature, salinity, den- sity, and surface geostrophic currents are emphasized. In the latter, attention is focused on the subsurface distribution of nnass and how it contributes to the surface currents. The results of these analyses are then briefly summarized. The report is concluded with a general summary in which the observations for each cruise are compared in order to point to possible seasonal variations. The tabulated observations for each cruise are included in the appendix. The discussion is generally based on figures in which the variables are plotted cuid contoured on horizontal surfaces with points of observation marked by dots. As is generally the case, contour lines — The plankton data for cruise 17 have been presented by King and Hida (1954). Those for cruises 20 and 21 are in preparation for separate publication. 1 represent an interpretation of the distribution of a variable and therefore may be open to dispute. The figures of this report are no exception. However, no observed points are violated and interpolations are gener- ally linear except when boundary conditions suggest a deviation. In order to obtain average values of temperature, salinity, etc. , and their spatial trend, the survey region was subdivided into four areas. A line was drawn along the Hawaiian Island chain and another perpendi- cular to it through the western tip of Molokai island, as shown on figure 1, These lines divide the region into a windward (northeast) and a leeward (southwest) side with an east and a west section in each. HUGH M. SMITH CRUISE 17 Summary Cruise Report The cruise began September 5, 1952, and was completed Septenn- ber 15, 1952. Figure 1 shows the positions of the 31 hydrographic sta- tions. Water samples were taken to a depth of 600 m. and oblique 200-na. zooplankton hauls were made on each station. Bathythermograph temper- atures to 900 feet were obtained on each station and at 10-mile intervals. Synoptic weather observations were made four times daily and forwarded to the U. S. Weather Bureau. Meteorological Conditions Typical trade wind weather prevailed during the cruise period. Air temperatures were predominantly 77 F., with the exception of the por- tion southwest of the island chain, where the maximum deviations of + 2 F, occurred and where the tennperatures were generally slightly above 77°F. Winds were generally from 090 + 20 T. with the exceptions of a few sta- tions to the lee of the island chain where the deviation reached a mciximum of + 60 . No winds with a westerly component were observed. Speeds were generally between 15 and 20 knots, with extremes of 6 and 22 knots. No rain was encountered except on stations 8 and 14. Surface Hydrography The hydrographic conditions of the surface layer (upper 50 to 100 m.) are of importance since their variations have a primary influence upon biological activities. Here the salinity and temperature, which determine the density of the water, show their greatest seasonal variations. Besides effects due to the physical presence of the Hawaiicin Islands in an ocean stream, one might expect the surface variables to be influenced by heavy precipitation on the windward slopes of the island mountains and subsequent runoff. The surface temperature is also ex- pected to vary because of solar heating in shallow water and in wind- sheltered regions. Temperature distribution Surface bucket temperatures obtained at each bathythermograph position are contoured on figure 2 at intervals of 0. 5 F. Surface tem- peratures averaged over the quadrants of the survey region are shown in table 1 together with the extreme temperatures encountered. Greatest deviations occurred on the leeward (southwest) side of the island chain. The maximum temperature of 80,5 F. was found off the west shore of the island of Hawaii. The lowest temperatures were found in an area o o o centered at 20 N. , 157 20'W. , where the minimum was 74.8 F. (This type of cold temperature distribution was previously shown by McGary (1955) to be associated with a counterclockwise vortex. ) On the wind- ward (northeast) side of the island chain temperatures were more uni- form, with two tongues of warmer water protruding north and northeast- ward of Molokai and Maui, respectively. On the windward side there was essentially no change in average temperature from east to west, whereas on the leeward side the average increased by approximately 1 F. in that direction. Salinity distribution Figure 3 shows the surface salinity distribution contoured at intervals of 0.05 /oo. Averaged surface salinities are shown in table 1. o Maximum salinities (greater than 35.2 /oo) were encountered on the northern and eastern edges of the survey area and minimum salinities (less than 35 /oo) off the west shore of Hawaii and along the southern edge of the survey area. A region of high-salinity water on the leeward side of the island chain is centered at approximately 19 45'N. , 157°20'W., the same location as the temperature minimum.

Their relative importance can be judged when one considers that the change of surface density in the Hawaiian Islands region due to a 0. 3 /oo salinity decrease is apjroxi- mately equivalent to a 1.6 F. temperature increase. Thus, changes in salinity as shown in table 1 are not negligible in their effect on the density. Figure 4 shows the surface density distribution in units of sigma-t with contour intervals of 0. 1. When compared with figures 2 and 3, it indicates that the main features of temperature and salinity had an addi- tive effect upon the density distribution; that is, whenever the temperature was low, the salinity was high, and conversely low salinities corresponded with high temperatures. Average surface sigma-t values are listed in table 1, The lowest The densities occurred on station 1 and off the west shore of Hawaii, densest water was found in a region centered at 20 N. , 157 15'W. asso- ciated with the counterclockwise vortex.

Cromwell Hugh M. Smith cruise 21 - E. D. Stroup Hugh M. Smith cruise 26 - D. Yamashita In charge of data computations and tabulations - Mrs, M. L. Godfrey Remarks about the data tabulations: Weather was recorded according to the WW code in the U. S. Weather Bureau Circular M, Instructions to Marine Meteorological Observers. Wind velocity was measured by an anemometer located 30 m. above the sea surface. In the tabulated data, the horizontal line(s) between depths separates the two or more casts necessary during the particular station. When the interpolated and calculated values are shown for greater depths than the observed values, they were obtained by extrapolation using the data from adjoining stations as a guide. Measurements of temperature, chemical determinations of salinity, oxygen, and phosphate were made in duplicate and averaged if the values were within the following limits: temperature, above 300 m. , 0.05 C. , below 300 m. , 0. 02 C. ; salinity 0. 04 °/oo; oxygen 0, 1 ml/1; phosphate 0.05 |Jig-at/l. Whenever these limits are exceeded, both values are carried in the tabulations. Obviously wrong values, as determined from the station curves, are omitted from the tabulations. 62 STATION 1 M/V Hugh M. Smith: Cruise 17, 20°20'N, 159°14'W, September 6, 1952.
