96-490: A main engine failure, again caused by excessive wear on the engine's timing gear, forced her to cut her cruise short, and instead she headed home, conducting exploratory fishing on her way back to Pearl Harbor, which she reached on 10 February. The 19 buckets of live bait she collected — iao ( Hepsetia insularum ) — did well in her live bait tanks. Some of the bait was studied at the University of Hawaii, while some

144-474: A more even rhythm of seasonal rainfall. Tropical lows and weakening tropical storms often contribute to seasonal rainfall in most humid subtropical climates. In the cool season (winter) the subtropical highs retreat, and the humid subtropics are more influenced by the westerlies and the fronts and storms that move with them. The Subtropical highland climate is a climate variant often grouped together with oceanic climates found in some mountainous areas of either

240-427: Is generally in areas adjacent to powerful cold ocean currents. Examples of this climate are the coastal areas of Southern Africa and the west coast of South America . The humid subtropical climate is often on the western side of the subtropical high. Here, unstable tropical airmasses in summer bring convective overturning and frequent tropical downpours, and summer is normally the season of peak annual rainfall. In

288-418: Is lower. This definition, though restricted to dry regions, is almost similar to Holdridge's. Heating of the earth by the sun near the equator leads to large amounts of upward motion and convection winds along the monsoon trough or Intertropical Convergence Zone . The upper-level divergence over the near-equatorial trough leads to air rising and moving away from the equator aloft. As the air moves towards

German climatologists Carl Troll and Karlheinz Paffen defined warm temperate zones as plain and hilly lands having an average temperature of

After repairs, she again set out from Pearl Harbor on 24 January 1950 to begin the cruise. She conducted exploratory fishing during her outbound voyage, arrived at the French Frigate Shoals on 27 January, and scouted Tern Island and Shark Island for bait

Leslie Holdridge defined the subtropical climates as having a mean annual biotemperature between the frost line or critical temperature line, 16 °C to 18 °C (depending on locations in the world), and 24 °C. The frost line separates the warm temperate region from the subtropical region. It represents

1056-539: The coastal areas of the lower west coast of the United States. These climates do not routinely see hard freezes or snow due to winter on average being above freezing, which allows plants such as palms and citrus to flourish. As one moves toward the tropical side the slight winter cool season disappears, while at the poleward threshold of the subtropics the winters become cooler. Some crops which have been traditionally farmed in tropical climates, such as mango , litchi , avocado and aloe vera , are also cultivated in

1200-530: The cruise, her crew found that hot lava pouring into the sea on the coast of the island of Hawaii during an eruption of the volcano Mauna Loa had killed many fish, whose carcasses had then risen to the surface, and she spent a day collecting the dead fish to examine the contents of their stomachs. She returned to Pearl Harbor on 8 June 1950 after three weeks at sea. Plans for Henry O'Malley ′s next cruise — her fourth in FWS service and third scientific cruise — called for her to conduct exploratory fishing off

In most humid subtropical climates, summer is the wettest season. In summer, the subtropical high pressure cells provide a sultry southernly flow of tropical air with high dew points, and frequent (but brief) convective showers are common. With decreasing latitude most humid subtropical climates typically have drier winters and wetter summers, however some sectors with this climate see

1296-410: The dividing line between two major physiological groups of evolved plants. Most of the plants are sensitive to low temperatures on the warmer side of the line.

On the colder temperate side of the line, the total flora is adapted to survive periods of variable lengths of low temperatures, whether as seeds in the case of

1344-655: The fish to determine the existence of different races of yellowfin. However, what the November 1950 edition of the Fish and Wildlife Service publication Commercial Fisheries Review described as "operational difficulties" forced her to cut her cruise short, and she proceeded to Pearl Harbor, where she arrived on 30 August 1950, two weeks earlier than planned. Henry O'Malley underwent extensive repairs, but she failed her post-repair sea trials . Deeming her unseaworthy, and determining that additional repairs needed to make her ready for research operations were cost-prohibitive,

Subtropics The subtropical zones or subtropics are geographical and climate zones to the north and south of the tropics . Geographically part of the temperate zones of both hemispheres, they cover the middle latitudes from 23°26′09.8″ (or 23.43605°) to approximately 35° north and south. The horse latitudes lie within this range. Subtropical climates are often characterized by hot summers and mild winters with infrequent frost. Most subtropical climates fall into two basic types: humid subtropical ( Köppen climate classification : Cfa/Cwa), where rainfall

1488-465: The same day. High seas and winds of up to 45 knots (83 km/h; 52 mph) prevented her from conducting any further scientific operations until 5 February, when she looked for bait at Tern Island and East Island . All the bait she collected on both 27 January and 5 February was taken within 50 feet (15 m) of shore in 1 to 6 feet (0.3 to 1.8 m) of water. During her visit to French Frigate Shoals, she also experimented while at anchor with

1824-727: The use of United States West Coast -style fishing vessels and equipment in areas of the mid-Pacific Ocean not previously explored by fisheries scientists. During the voyage, she caught only 18 skipjack, her crew finding that her size and relative lack of maneuverability made it difficult to maintain contact with schools of fish. While scouting for tuna , she took bathythermograph readings, and she gathered biological specimens during night-lighting operations. She also collected stomachs , gonads , and vertebrae from and gathered morphometric data on four pole-caught skipjacks, which contributed to scientific understanding of skipjack diets, spawning , growth, and population characteristics. During
