The Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center, part of the National Marine Fisheries Service, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), conducted cruises in the Northwest Hawaiian Islands and Guam on the R/V Hi'ialakai, Townsend Cromwell, and Oscar Elton Sette during 1999-2006. 14 select cruises are included in this batch. Finalized data include the profiles of temperature, salinity, oxygen saturation, and fluorescence. Most hydrocast stations are near atolls and islands. These are referred to as deep profiles and mostly reach to 500 m.
