This is the latest image from Bag City Vent. Click image for full-size view (larger file). The evolving blurry areas in the image are probably small colonies of microorganisms which are in the process of colonizing the viewing window of the camera's pressure housing.See how these patches are changing between images at the archive site.

NEW!-See the movie (mpg format) of all the images.

			Temperature data
	More info on the temperature probes Cumulative temperature data		Temperature is measured once an hour by each of three probes. Every 24 hours the resulting 72 temperature measurements are transmitted to the laboratory. Move cursor over links below to see temperatures from the three probes: Probe A Probe B Probe C
			Background
	NeMO NeT Vent site description NeMO NeT system design System deployment		is a breakthrough in ocean engineering utilizing an acoustic modem to relay data from three temperature probes and a camera to a moored buoy, which in turn send the data to NOAA's Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory via a GOES satellite. The prototype system, operational for one month in 1999 was succeeded in July 2000 by a more advanced system. The new system uses an ORBCOMM satellite system to send and receive commands and data from shore to the seafloor.
