Temperature variability of submarine hydrothermal activity in Banderas Bay: Short-term analysis.
Keywords:
tide, hydrothermal vent, benthic infauna, sensors, monitoringAbstract
Submarine hydrothermal activity at Banderas Bay is a phenomenon of scientific interest due to its influence on local marine ecosystems and its potential for technological applications. This study describes two sampling campaigns conducted in 2017 and 2023, in which HOBO™ Pendant™ sensors were used to record the temperature of hydrothermal activity. The first campaign faced failures in materials and methods, while the second implemented improvements that allowed for successful recordings. It was, therefore, possible to analyze temperature variability over 53 days, from 9 September to 31 October 2023. The results obtained provide an initial perspective on the temperature dynamics of this hydrothermal activity, and it is recommended that future research include long-term monitoring of temperature and other factors.
