The HydroCAT-EP V2, Sea-Bird Scientific’s newest multiparameter CTD for moored applications, was chosen as the solution for this study due to its unique pumped flow technology, high data accuracy, robustness, and autonomous capability. One key component to the success of this study was the parties involved, and the speed in which they agreed to participate and work out a solution. The necessity for holistic understanding of the implications from the Lahaina wildfire calls upon non-profit, institutional, and private sectors to all work collaboratively to deploy solutions that can give us the full picture. Great thanks to Dr. Andrea Kealoha and the team at the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa, for your partnership and for enabling us to highlight your data to better protect our oceans. |
