A YBW-Sentry high temperature vent instrumented with a temperature logger (IMAGE)
Caption
The research team has instrumented nine high temperature vents with temperature loggers manufactured by EP Oceanographic. The loggers collect data every ten minutes, in order to track changes in vent fluid temperature that can be used to infer changes in permeability of the crust beneath the vent.
