| Research Abstract |
We have been developing a method for observing and delineating seafloor hydrothermal flows with an acoustic video camera. Tank experiments were conducted to evaluate the utility of the proposed system for seafloor hydrothermal activity observation. We found that the system was able to delineate the image of an artificial seafloor hydrothermal flow; that is, a heated water flow that was pumped into the experimental tank through a narrow silicon tube. This result indicated that the proposed system will be of practical use.
