    Physical oceanography measurements at the Håkon Mosby mud volcano (LOOME) (2009)
    PANGAEA
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-13
    Description: The deployment of LOOME was performed by lowering the LOOME frame by winch, followed by positioning of the surface sensors across the most active site by ROV. The frame was placed on an inactive slab of hydrates, eastwards and adjacent to the hot spot. As part of the LOOME-frame Sun & Sea multi parameter probe CTD 60M was deployed approximately 3 m above the seafloor. The device was rated to 2000 m water depth. As energy supply a DeepSea Power & Light SeaBattery (12V) was used, which allows a run time of the CTD 60M of more than a year. The memory capacity of the probe is sufficient to allow data storage for more than a year as well, applying a time resolution of better than one measurement per minute. The probe was configured to start running when the energy supply is connected and a magnetic switch is closed. An LED on top of CTD is indicating the current state of the probe. The major aim was to record the temperature and pressure regime in the bottom water at the Håkon Mosby Mud Volcano.

    Eruption of the Håkon Mosby mud volcano recorded by the long-term observatory on mud-volcano eruptions (LOOME) between 2009 and 2010 (2014)

    Description: Submarine mud volcanoes are considered an important source of methane to the water column. However, the temporal variability of their fluid transport including mud and methane emissions is largely unknown. Assuming that this transport was continuous and at steady state, methane emissions were previously proposed to result from a dynamic equilibrium between upward migration and consumption at the seabed by methane-consuming microbes. Here we have investigated non-steady state situations of vigorous mud movements and their reflection in fluid flow, seabed temperature and bathymetry. Time series of pressure, temperature, pH and seafloor photography were collected by a benthic observatory (LOOME) for 431 days at the active Håkon Mosby mud volcano. These new data document eruptions, which were accompanied by pulses of hot subsurface fluids and triggered rapid sediment uplift and lateral movement, as well as emissions of free gas.
