This accession contains comprehensive dataset and reports collected in support of the Mamala Bay Study during 1993-1995. Physical, chemical, biological, and geological reports are included. The purpose of the study was to examine the physical, chemical, biological, and geophysical nature of Mamala Bay, Oahu, Hawaii and surrounding areas in an effort to detect influences from point and non-point source pollution.

This NCEI accession contains cruises within 1985-06-16 to 2000-03-31, which were received, reviewed, and prepared for archival at the Joint Archive (JA) for Shipboard Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (SADCP) within 1997 to 2000-12. Only data sets that have passed quality control and calibration stages, thus science-ready, are included in the JASADCP. The JASADCP is a collaboration of NOAA and the E.Firing ADCP Laboratory at the University of Hawaii. The data have been contributed by both US and international organizations.

Physical and nutrient profile data were collected from bottle casts in the Bering Sea and the Gulf of Alaska from the R/V Alpha Helix. Data were collected from from 25 April 1988 to 15 May 1988 by the University of Alaska - Fairbanks; Institute of Marine Science (UAK/IMS) as part of the Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP ) and the Gulf of Alaska-1 (GAK-1) projects.

Water temperature profiles collected by XBT in support of the High Resolution XBT Network in 1997-1998. The cruises, ship names (and callsigns) include
p09 (px6,px9,px39): Brisbane Star (C6LY4) and Argentina Star (C6MD8)
p22 (ax22): Polar Duke, Nathaniel B. Palmer and L.M. Gould (WCX7445)
p31 (px31): Fua Kavenga (A3CA)
p37 (px37,px10,px44): Sea-Land Enterprise (KRGB)
p38 (px38): Chevron Mississippi (WXBR)
p50 (px50): Asian Challenger (VRSR) and Lydia Oldendorff (ELVH7)
p81 (px81): Nacre (3EZI6)

Documentation is included.

This report provides the results of the first quantitative survey of the coral reef communities in the vicinity of the Mokapu Ocean Outfall in Kailua Bay, Oahu, Hawaii. This survey, conducted in April and July 1998, focuses on benthic and fish community structure and is designed to detect community changes that may be mediated by the release of treated sewage through the outfall.

This report provides the results of the eight years of an annual quantitative monitoring of shallow marine communities inshore of the Barbers Point Ocean Outfall located in 61 m of water offshore of Ewa Beach, Oahu, Hawaii. The monitoring effort focuses on benthic and fish community structure and is designed to detect changes in these communities.

This report provides the results of nine years of an annual quantitative monitoring of shallow marine communities inshore of the Sand Island Ocean Outfall, Oahu, Hawaii. This monitoring effort focuses on benthic and fish community structure and is designed to detect changes in these communities. Marine communities offshore of Honolulu have received considerable perturbation over the last 100 years. Dumping of raw sewage in shallow water, which occurred from 1955 to 1977, was halted in 1978; however, point and nonpoint sources of pollution from both urban activities and industry continue.
