Table S1A. (top) Autonomous Temperature Line Acquisition System (ATLAS) mooring meteorological and (bottom) oceanographic sensor specifications. Accuracies listed are based on predeployment and postrecovery calibrations for groups of sensors, and are supplied by the manufacturer (indicated by *), or, in the case of the SonTek current meter, are based on intercomparisons of acoustic Doppler current profiler data of known accuracy. Except for the SonTek current meter, ranges listed are ranges over which instruments are calibrated (tuned for the tropics) rather than over the full range of possible measurements. Data quality control procedures are described in full at www.pmel.noaa.gov/tao/proj_over/qc.html.
