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, nephelometry and fluorometry onboard the US Coast Guard Polar Sea. Vailulu'u marks the current location of the Samoan hotspot. This Microsoft Excel file contains the CTDNF data in three Excel spreadsheets with useful plotting utilities to display the CTDN data at any scale. SAM18 is an extensive Tow-Yo transect from the out- to inside on the E-side of the crater. Compare with SAM19. In total 36 up and down legs were carried out reaching ~960 m water depth. Power mode.
