Instrument Platform Descriptions
 | Coral Reef Early Warning System (CREWS) Buoys Moored buoys which provide high resolution SST, barometric pressure, wind speed and wind direction. Enhanced versions additionally provide salinity, UV-B, and PAR. Subsets of these data are transmitted daily via satellite telemetry. |
 | Sea Surface Temperature (SST) Buoys Moored buoys which provide high resolution SST. Subsets of these data are transmitted daily via satellite telemetry |
 | SVP-GPS Drifting Buoys Drogued satellite drifters that telemeter their position and sea surface temperature. |
 | APEX (Autonomous Profiling Explorer) TP Floats Profiling satellite drifters that mimic diurnal migrations of zooplankton. They transmit profiles of water column temperature daily by satellite telemetry. |
 | Subsurface Ocean Data Platform (Sontek ADP+SBE37) Subsurface moorings, providing high resolution current profiles, directional wave spectra, and temperature and salinity. |
 | Aanderaa Current Meters (RCM9) Subsurface moorings providing high resolution current velocity and direction at locations of interest. |
 | WTR (SBE 26plus) Subsurface moorings providing high resolution wave and tide records, temperature and conductivity. |
 | STR (SBE 39) Subsurface moorings providing high resolution temperature. Additionally used on towed platforms for temperature and pressure-based depth. |
 | Shallow Water CTD (SBE 19plus) Ship-based profiler providing salinity, temperature and pressure-based depth. |
 | Deep Water CTD (SBE 911plus) Ship-based profiler (~500 m) providing high resolution salinity, temperature, dissolved oxygen, flouresence, and depth; sampling carousel collects water samples at different depths for measurements such as chlorophyll. |
 | Profiling Radiometer (Biospherical PRR 2600) Ship-based radiometric profiler recording high resolution spectral measurements of ocean color throughout the euphotic zone. |
