Vents 1993 Cleft and Coaxial Segment Plume Monitoring: Physical and ChemicalData, NOAA Ship DISCOVERER and R/V ATLANTIS II, June to October 1993

摘要

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) VENTS Program wasestablished in 1984 to study the oceanic effects of hydrothermal activity along seafloor spreading centers. VENTS Program scientists from the Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) have conducted intensive oceanographic research on the Cleft and CoAxial Segment of the Juan de Fuca Ridge spreading center located in the northeast Pacific Ocean basin. This report summarizes salinity, temperature, nutrient, optical, and total suspended matter data collected during the NOAA VENTS cruises in June to October of 1993. The data was collected over the Juan de Fuca Ridge covering an area from 44 deg 00 min N to 48 deg 30 min N and 128 deg 30 min W to 130 deg 40 min W.
