Description
The hydrothermal system of the Vailulu'u volcano that is located to the East of Ta'u island in the Samoan Islands has been investigated by measuring standard CTD and nephelometry onboard the US Coast Guard Polar Star. Vailulu'u marks the current location of the Samoan hotspot. This Microsoft Excel file contains the CTDN data in three Excel spreadsheets with useful plotting utilities to display the CTDN data at any scale. SAM01 is a single hydrocast just outside the crater located approximately 2 km distant from the highest peak on the NE crater wall.
