| Abstract | The environmental monitoring program of the surface thermal manifestations within the historical site of the Coso Geothermal Area aboard the Naval Weapons Center is described and baseline data is presented. Steam flows through corrosion arrays and a photographic study were initiated in 1978; and, as of January 1980, a complete monitoring program within the historical site was in effect. Seasonal variations in steam flows and mud pot fluid levels are readily apparent. |
