Temperature profiles along shallow-water hydothermal vents in Paleochori Bay, Milos Island, Greece during 2012 (Hydrothermal Autotrophic Carbon Fixation project)

Expand/Collapse All

Description

This dataset describes the temperature profiles taken by Scuba diving at a shallow-water hydrothermal vent site in Paleochori Bay, Milos Island, Greece.

Data Processing Description

Temperature measurements were conducted in situ by Scuba diving at different locations along the transect from the hottest part of the venting area towards the unaffected, colder sediments, i.e., at 0 cm, 50 cm, 100 cm, 150 cm, 200 cm, and 300 cm, at 5 cm intervals to a maximum sediment depth of 30 cm with a digital thermometer in a custom underwater housing.
