MODIS (or Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) is a key instrument aboard the Terra (originally known as EOS AM-1) and Aqua (originally known as EOS PM-1) satellites. Terra's orbit around the Earth is timed so that it passes from north to south across the equator in the morning, while Aqua passes south to north over the equator in the afternoon. Terra MODIS and Aqua MODIS are viewing the entire Earth's surface every 1 to 2 days, acquiring data in 36 spectral bands, or groups of wavelengths (see MODIS Technical Specifications).
This preliminary report outlines the data collected in 2007 in the equatorial Pacific Ocean during cruises to service the TAO/TRITON array, a network of deep ocean moored buoys deployed to support ENSO research and forecasting. The TAO/TRITON array, completed in 1994, consists of approximately 70 deep ocean moorings within 8 degrees of the equator spanning the Pacific Basin from 95 W to 137 E. Moorings west of 165 E are maintained by the Japan Agency for Marine Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC).
The report gives an overview of the cruise of R/V Kilo Moana, a US flagged science vessel belonging to the Office of Navel Research and operated by the University of Hawaii. The cruise took place during 2007 and was organised around a US National Science Foundation funded study of the diversity and activity of nitrogen-fixing organisms (diazotrophs).

The report gives an overview of the scientific programme of the Sorcerer II Global Expedition. The survey measured microbial diversity and oceanographic parameters at a number of locations across the globe, including the South Pacific. Reports, articles, and some of the data generated from the survey can be downloaded from the web. See links under 'Online resources'.
This report provides details of CTD data collected in 2005 and 2006 in the equatorial Pacific Ocean during cruises to service the TAO/TRITON array, a network of deep ocean moored buoys deployed to support ENSO research and forecasting. The TAO/TRITON array, completed in 1994, consists of approximately 70 deep ocean moorings within 8 degrees of the equator spanning the Pacific Basin from 95◦W to 137◦E. Moorings west of 165◦E are maintained by the Japan Agency for Marine Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC).
Locations of Acoustic Doppler Profiler (ADP). Standard ADP's were deployed at various locations during the SOPAC bathymetry survey in 2008.This entry contains data presented in tabular digital format, the positions of the ADP's around Aitutaki during the survey. Information detailing processing of the data and field operation of the equipment is contained in the metadata report downloadable by selecting the appropriate link under Distribution Info.
