Main Endeavour Field South Benthic Biogeochemical Experiment System Deployed 2018-06-27

The SIDSSE Benthic Biogeochemical Experiment System (BBES) 01 was deployed on 2018-06-27 at Main Endeavour Field South. Main Endeavour Field South is at the south end of the Main Endeavour Field located along the Endeavour Ridge, where hydrothermal vent systems are observed. This device is a Benthic Biogeochemical Experiment System. Filtered seawater is pumped into the reaction system through the centrifugal pump. Reaction starts by adding tracers through the peristaltic pump valves. It was deployed on a fixed platform. Data from this deployment were archived and made available through Ocean Networks Canada's Oceans 2.0 digital infrastructure, with quality assurance and derived data products following established practices.
