Description: Data for estimating heat flow in the western Black Sea are provided, based on measurements made during Expedition MSM34 (R/V Maria S. Merian). Data are located in the Bulgarian and Romanian Sector of the Black Sea in water depths ranging from 420 to 1500 m. Data were always collected with the GEOMAR-owned 6 m long heat-probe tool, consisting of 22 Thermistors (at 26 cm spacing) along a sensor-string, a reference pressure gauge and calibration thermometer (T100 sensor). Raw data are required to be calibrated relative to the T100 sensor. Calibration data for both expeditions are provided in form of temperature offsets for each thermistor. Data provided include per station all original (raw) data for each deployment (temperature as function of time, pressure/Depth) for each thermistor, as well as initial results after separating each individual measurement sequence into penetration files (pen-files) where the temperature calibration has been applied. Results report an average thermal Gradient, heat-flux and thermal conductivity over the total penetraiton Depth of 6m. Detailed information (temperature and thermal conductivity as function of depth at each location) is given in graphical form as well as ascii data per individual penetration.

Description: In situ sediment temperature and sediment thermal conductivity measurements were made with the GEOMAR heat flow probe (6m total length) during Expedition MSM57 on board the R/V MARIA S. MERIAN at the Svalbard margin. Two sub-regions were visited: Vestnesa Ridge and Svyatogor Ridge. A total of eleven deployment sequences were performed. The first deployment was used to defined individual sensor offsets to a reference temperature (data file available in section source data set). Deployment sequence 2 - 8 were conducted around pockmarks on Vestnesa Ridge, and deployment sequence 9 - 11 are at pockmarks across Svyatogor Ridge. During each deployment sequence several individual stations were visited as detailed in Bohrmann et al., (2017) (see datasets listed in this publication series below). From the individual measured temperature records, thermal gradients and in situ thermal conductivity values are derived using the technique described in Villinger and Davis (1986). We report here our initial results as well. Initial results and further details of the deployments can be found in the cruise report by Bohrmann et al. (2017).

During each deployment sequence several individual stations were visited as detailed in Bohrmann et al., (2017). Raw-data have the extension ".TOB" and are tab-delimited ascii files with data labels and units in top rows. Note: Temperatures in the raw files are not corrected for sensor Offsets from reference. Tose Offsets are included in the individual penetration files. Within each deployment sequence, the total record is split into individual penetration files, one penetration file per station visited. Naming convention is as follows: H1602P01.pen.dat for penetration 1 of deployment sequence H1602. Each Penetration file has complete header information on the measurement and performance. Note: temperatures are reported in values of mili-degrees Celsius). From the individual measured temperature records, thermal gradients and in situ thermal conductivity values are derived using the technique described in Villinger and Davis (1986). We report here our initial results as well. For each penetration, a results-file is included with in situ temperature and conductivity reported as function of Depth. Naming convention of the results files is as follows: H1602_P01_results.dat with "H1602" as deployment sequence, "P01" as penetration number. If the heat pulse was not generated, only the decay of frictional heating was used to define in situ temperature. Thermal conductivity was assumed to be constant for all depths in those instances. Here, we used a value of 1.25 for the assumed thermal conductivity. Initial results and further details of the deployments can be found in the cruise report by Bohrmann et al. (2017).
