Narrative (not for reading)
Not long after the ACO was deployed, a cold event began (Alford et al., 2011). Over several months, potential temperature dropped from 1.110°C to 1.09°C (0.02°C = 20 mK). The cooling was not steady, but was superimposed with rapid changes of ~±5 mK. Temperature increased nearly linearly by about 15 mK to mid‐2012, plateauing through the remainder of the year before increasing again by 5 mK through mid‐2013. The recovery phase of this cold event was characterized by small variations around distinct trends, consistent with turbulent diffusion of heat downward as modeled by Lukas et al. (2001; Deep‐Sea Research).

Narrative (not for reading)
A subsequent rapid cooling was observed in January 2014, followed by large oscillations, warming, and then another rapid cooling in November 2014. A slower cooling similar to 2011 occurred from August‐October of 2015.

Discussion‐ Large dynamic abyssal temperature signals in the Kauai Deep ―cold overflow events and oscillations ―much greater than instrumental uncertainty
‐ One‐year mean θ differences are real and significant;WHOTS colder than ACO is consistent with bottom water source to east ― the Maui Deep
‐ RMS ACO‐WHOTS differences ~5 mK during 2014‐2015 (~10 km separation)
Simultaneous WHOTS‐ACO differences exceed 1 mK/km over several days
Strong near‐bottom baroclinic pressure gradients

DiscussionSignals propagate from east to west on average, faster than the daily mean near‐bottom flow @ the ALOHA Cabled Observatory
Internal Kelvin waves with periods of days to weeks?Consistent with westward propagation at ALOHA (i.e. counterclockwise propagation around Kauai Deep)
Forcing?: May be from above (surface weather; baroclinic eddies) or by overflow gravity currents overshooting levels of neutral buoyancy
Issues: Internal Rossby radius of deformation depends on stratification,which depends on frequency and magnitude of cold overflows

Summary• Temperature measurements accurate to better than 0.001°C
across multiple Sea‐Bird instruments, both in calibration lab and deployed in the abyss
• Large dynamic signals (cold overflow events; oscillations) in the Kauai Deep: Signal/noise ratio > 10
• Simultaneous WHOTS‐ACO differences exceed 1 mK/km over several days; one‐year mean differences are much larger than measurement uncertainty
• Signals propagate along isobaths from east to west at ALOHA
• Such non‐tidal dynamics are likely occurring at many other locations along abyssal circulation pathways
