N1 - Funding Information: On 30 October 1988, a team of scientists from the University of Hawaii established Station ALOHA (22°45′N, 158°W; Fig. 1) as an open ocean observatory for physical, biogeochemical, and ecological investigations. ALOHA is an acronym for A Long-term Oligotrophic Habitat Assessment, the stated mission of the National Science Foundation-supported Hawaii Ocean Time-series (HOT) program. On approximately monthly intervals since then, scientists, engineers, students, and technicians from around the world have embarked on more than 300 expeditions to observe and record both natural and human-induced variations in ecosystem structure and function at this remote open ocean location. Such studies have identified key processes and patterns associated with biogeochemical cycles of carbon and associated bioelements, including those controlled by time-variable plankton biology, air–sea interactions, and vertical and horizontal fluxes of nutrients. Between 2006 and 2016, the National Science Foundation funded the Center for Microbial Oceanography: Research and Education (C-MORE) as a Science and Technology Center of excellence, and in 2014 the Simons Foundation established a decade-long international program dubbed SCOPE, the Simons Collaboration on Ocean Processes and Ecology. Both C-MORE and SCOPE were created on the intellectual foundation that was built by the HOT program, and both have complemented the long-term time series with more comprehensive investigations of microbial processes, biogeochemistry, and ecosystem modeling.
