| Abstract | Statistical analysis of the distribution of bottom holes temperatures in wells throughout Ohio provide additional evidence for a convective system suggested earlier by Cannon et al. (1980). The model postulates convective heat transfer along the fault and fracture system associated with the Cincinnati-Findlay Arch in western Ohio. Depth/bottom hole temperatures and depth calculated geothermal gradient diagrams show wide scatter of points for boreholes located along the axis of the Arch, as contrasted with a good linear correlation for boreholes located east and west of the Arch. |
