Creator:: McManus, James, Collier, Robert W., and Dymond, Jack
Abstract:: Subsurface hydrothermal activity dominates the heat and salt budgets of the deep water column in Crater Lake, Oregon. From a time series of conductivity-temperature-depth data and data from a thermistor chain mooring, we estimate that the net hydrothermal heat flow is ~1 W m⁻² and the corresponding salt flux is...

Abstract:: We present evidence for pore water flow through the sediment of Crater Lake, Oregon based on systematic variations in pore water chemical compositions and thermal gradients. Pore water was extracted from sediment by centrifugation and diffusive exchange using a gravity corer deployed from a surface vessel and a box corer...

Abstract:: As a result of the past three years of field studies and our interpretation of these and other data from the literature, we conclude that there are inputs of hydrothermal fluids into the bottom of Crater Lake. The dissolved materials associated with these thermally and chemically enriched fluids, coupled with...

Creator:: McManus, James, Collier, Robert W., Chen, Chen-Tung A., and Dymond, Jack
Abstract:: Active inputs of thermally and chemically enriched fluids at the bottom of Crater Lake create small vertical and horizontal heterogeneities in the deep-lake temperature and salt distribution. Using an internally recording CTD and a precise definition for salinity as a function of in situ conductivity and temperature, we assess the...

Creator:: McManus, James, Collier, Robert W., Dymond, Jack, Wheat, C. Geoffrey, and Larson, Gary L.
Abstract:: Small temporal and spatial variations in the distribution of dissolved oxygen in Crater Lake, Oregon, are used to estimate the mean age of the lake’s deep water, the flux of labile organic carbon to the deep lake, and the influence of hydrothermal activity on the concentration of dissolved oxygen within...

Creator:: Dymond, Jack, Collier, Robert W., McManus, James, and Larson, Gary L.
Abstract:: Flux estimates show that upward mixing of the deep-water nitrate pool accounts for more than 85% of the total new nitrogen input to the euphotic zone of Crater Lake. Because measured primary productivity (360 mg C m-2 d-1) is 10–30 times higher than a level supported solely by the input...
