Thermistor Array Ready for Testing

The 3D thermistor array designed by RSN Project Scientist Giora Proskurowski is attached to the Medium Powered J-BOx (MJ03B) in the ASHES hydrothermal field. The array will be tested on a follow-on dive, and in 2014 it will be deloyed in a diffuse flow site at the base of the vent called Mushroom, along with a high-definition video camera and an osmo vent fluid sampler.
