PURPOSE OF EXPEDITION:
 		  
  Exchange MOBY and conduct in-water experiments for oligotrophic algorithm validation and development.
 
 
EXPEDITION SUMMARY:
 
  MOBY224 was deployed on 11 Jul and MOBY223 was recovered on 12 Jul.  After the MOBY overlap data collection period on 12 Jul, we noticed that MOBY224 had not collected any data.  We determined that the new hard drive in MOBY224's controller box had malfunctioned, so the controller box was removed and brought back to the MOBY operations site in Snug Harbor on 12 Jul.  Data were downloaded from MOBY223's hard drive, which replaced the new hard drive in MOBY224's controller box.  The controller box was installed on 13 Jul, restoring complete functionality to MOBY224.

Five stations, all of them south of Honolulu, were successfully occupied during Oahu-4.  Data sets collected include pigments (fluorometric and HPLC), MOS, FOS, SIS, MicroPro, CTD, AC-9, NuRADS, particulate absorption, CDOM, POC, and TSM.
