Pythia’s Oasis Archives

Sonar image of bubble plumes at Pythia’s Oasis. This is a perspective view looking northeast at the bubble plumes rising above Pythia’s Oasis, imaged during a 2018 transect onboard the R/V Revelle using a Kongsberg EM122 multibeam sonar. The hydroacoustic data were filtered using Fledermaus Midwater and reveal gas bubbles rising >500 m into the overlying ocean (image is 2× vertically exaggerated). The bathymetry shown here was collected onboard the R/V Thompson in 2015 and has been gridded at 20-m horizontal resolution.
