Robotic Oceanographic Exploration of Hydrothermal Vent Sites on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge at 37° North 32° West
This paper reports results from an oceanographic expedition to hydrothermal vent sites at the "Lucky Strike" segment (37°N 32°W) of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge during summer 1996 with the Jason/Medea, Argo II, and DSL-120 underwater robotic systems. This deployment is used to discuss and illust...
