Benthic Flow Meters Deployed

During VISIONS’13 two types of flow meters (CAT and Mosquito) were deployed at the summit of Southern Hydrate Ridge near the Einstein’s Grotto active seep site – each instrument has specific ranges of flow that they measure. They will be recovered in 2014, providing year-long records of flow into and out of the sediment. Credit: UW/OOI-NSF//CSSF; V13
