DEAFS – Deep-sea Autonomous and automated Fluid sampler data from the EMSO-Azores observatory, 2017

High temperature hydrothermal fluids are collected by the Deep-sea Autonomous and automated Fluid Sampler. The instrument is deployed at the footstep of the Montsegur edifice. The site, named Montserrat, expels hydrothermal fluid at 275°C which were collected beforehand by gas-tigh fluid sampler manipulated and triggered by the hydraulic arm of the submarine vehicle (ROV Victor6000).

Several chemical analyses are performed aboard the research vessel: such as salinity and d20/20 by refractometer, Conductivity, salinity and total dissolved solid (TDS) by electrode (standard solution at 1413 µS/cm), pH and Eh by electrode (pH standard 4.01 and 7; Eh standard solution at -220mV), H2S and total S concentrations measured by electrode (AquaMS, amperometric method) at measured pH value.
