| Abstract | A one meter temperature gradient survey method was tested at Clear lake and Mono Lake, California for application in geothermal exploration. Temperatures of the bottom water and sediments at 20 cm increments were measured with a cable operated probe. The lakes studied represent widely different thermal environments, but geothermal anomalies were successfully detected despite some rapid changes in lake bottom temperatures. |
