International audience Simulation of recent northern winter climate trends by greenhouse-gas forcing, Nature, 399, 452-455,1999. Thompson, D.WJ., and J. M.Wallace,Annular modes in the extratropical circulation, Part I, month-to-month variability./ Clim., PAGES 317,320 More than 40% of the marine heat flow data collected since the early experiments of Sir Edward Bullard in 1949 were obtained using shallow penetration probes less than 5 m long [Louden and Wright, 1989] .The common belief that these data are reliable enough to model deep-seated thermal processes is sup ported by a few experiments in which heat flow measurements made in the Deep Sea Drilling Program (DSDP) and the Ocean Drilling Pro gram (ODP) were compared to nearby surface heat flow measurements [e.g.,Hyndman etal, 1984]. However, thermal measurements made with 18-m penetrations recently collected on the northern flank of the SouthEast Indian Ridge (SEIR) bring a new perspective to this belief. In the study area, measurements of heat flow taken at the surface (0-5 m) and mea surements taken at greater depths (3-18 m) did not always concur. Investigating this lack of agreement will help address difficult ques tions about the interpretation of shallow pene tration (< 5 m) marine heat flow measurements. The data were obtained during the MD120-ANTAUS expedition carried out by R/V Marion Dufresne that was conducted from October 12 to November 7,2000 from Fremantle, Australia, to La Reunion Island.The primary objective of this cruise was to study marine heat flow vari ations along a 14-Ma isochron that parallels the SouthEast Indian Ridge (SEIR) between the Saint-Paul/Amsterdam hot spot and the Australian-Antarctic Discordance (AAD),an anomalously deep section of the Mid-Ocean Ridge that is often attributed to a mantle "cold spot." In the 1960s and 1970s, heat flow meas urements were obtained near the AAD as part of reconnaissance surveys [Von Herzen and Langseth, 1966; Langseth and Taylor, 1967; Anderson et al., 1977]. However, to interpret heat ...
