Measurements and Models of Heat Flux and Plumes from Hydrothermal Discharges Near the Deep Seafloor
Deep-sea hydrothermal vents are conduits of heat and chemicals from the lithosphere to the hydrosphere. Their plumes rise hundreds of meters from the seafloor into the water column; during their ascent, they entrain ambient water and are subject to cross flows. Source fluxes can vary in time, partly...
