More info on the temperature probes |
Temperature data from NeMO NeT began to be accumulated on September 9, 1999. The variation seen in Probes A and C is due to tidal influences and currents as plumes of warm water wave back and forth over the probes. Probe B was placed deeper within a high-flowing vent and does not experience these tidal effects to the extent of A and C, giving the smoother-looking data record. |
