HOT Meteorological Observations corrections
-------------------------------------------

26 August, 2003


 Sea surface bucket temperatures from HOT cruises 128 through 132 were
corrected. The temperatures were too high as compared to near-surface
CTD temperature data, probably due to a faulty bucket thermometer. 

 Correction offsets for these cruises were 0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.52, and 0.6 degC 
respectively; obtained by comparing the CTD temperatures with the bucket 
temperatures taken at the beginning of each cast.
