Starting in 1963, the USGS acquired marine heat flow data and coincident sediment cores at sites in Canada Basin, Nautilus Basin, Mendeleev Ridge, and Alpha Ridge as the ice island drifted in the Amerasian Basin. At least 584 heat flow penetrations were attempted, and data were reported at 356 of these. This dataset is the digital version of the original data table from Lachenbruch and others (2019; see cross-reference), retaining the original non-SI units for thermal conductivity and heat flow. Purpose: To provide a digital version of the original data table recording the T-3 thermal gradients, thermal conductivity values, and heat flow for the 356 successful stations.

Online_Linkage: https://doi.org/10.1130/DNAG-GNA-L.133 Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: This is a legacy dataset collected between 1963 and 1973. To determine accuracy of the original data: Carolyn Ruppel attempted to locate original records at the USGS Menlo Park office and among Arthur Lachenbruch's scientific papers, which are in the possession of Barbara Lachenbruch of Corvalis, Oregon. Lacking the original records (logs, records of heat flow equilibration curves, records of benchtop thermal conductivity measurements), it is impossible to determine whether the derived information reported in this dataset is accurate. The dataset is assumed to be accurate based on material in Lachenbruch and others (2019)--(see cross-reference), which discusses calibrations, internal checks, and other measures taken to ensure that the collected data (geothermal gradients and thermal conductivity values) were of high quality and accuracy. The dataset includes percentage uncertainties on reported heat flow measurements for most of the heat flow stations. It is assumed that these uncertainties are propagated errors from the thermal gradients and thermal conductivities combined. Another accuracy issue concerns the quality of the transfer from the hardcopy table to the digital version. The data were first manually keyed by Carolyn Ruppel in 2016. Subsequently, the data were optically scanned to PDF format and a subset of the data were subjected to optical character recognition by B. Clark and M. Arsenault. The manually keyed and optically-character-recognized data were then quality controlled by Deborah Hutchinson, who made notes about parts of the table that were not legible in the scans and best determinations about the appropriate values. Hutchinson also identified locations that did not confirm to the known T-3 navigation track. The dataset contains JPEG graphics showing the initially digitized table beside the scanned PDF portion of the table, with identified problems marked. Logical_Consistency_Report: Positions of measurements were checked to confirm that they lie on the known navigational track for T-1 as provided in this data release as part of the dataset "T-3 Ice Island One Hour Navigation: May 14, 1962 to September 15, 1974." Station FL-532 was correctly digitized but does not lie on the T-1 navigational track. The point was retained. Thermal gradients, thermal conductivity, and heat flow values are all positive and physically plausible. Completeness_Report: complete. When data were illegible in the original photocopy, a best guess was used as the entry. No stations or individual values of data recorded at the stations were excluded. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Background on navigation is summarized in: Hunkins, K., and W. Tiemann (1977), Geophysical data summary for Fletcher's Ice Island (T-3), 1962-1974, Technical Report, Lamont-Doherty Survey of the World Ocean Rep. CU-1-77, 219 pp, Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory and in the cross-referenced Journal of Geophysical Research paper (Ruppel and others, 2019) associated with this release. See also "T-3 Ice Island One Hour Navigation: May 14, 1962 to September 15, 1974" within this data release. Before 1967, navigation relied on theodolite fixes of the sun (summer) and stars (winter) coupled with a chronometer that was frequently checked for accuracy via radio. Hunkins and Tiemann [1977] estimate a positional error of up to 1 km during the summer and 0.5 km in the winter for this period. Starting in 1967, satellite data from the Navy Navigation Satellite System provided positional fixes, and Hunkins and Tiemann [1977] estimate that positions were known within 250 m. Based on the years of the island's occupation, the horizontal datum is assumed to be NAD27. Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: The water depths reported in the data table accompanying the Lachenbruch and others (2019) report (see cross-reference) are apparently line-out depths for the heat flow apparatus. No additional information with regards to depth measurements is indicated, and no vertical coordinate system is specified. Note that Hunkins and Tiemann (1977) also collected depth measurements using seismic and subbottom profiling systems and these are reported in "T-3 Ice Island One Hour Navigation: May 14, 1962 to September 15, 1974" as part of this data release. It is not known whether these depth measurements were adopted for the heat flow and radiogenic heat datasets. Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: This process step gives an overview of the acquisition of the original data. Details about the operations to acquire the data are given in Lachenbruch and others (2019)--see cross-reference. Summary information about procedures is also provided in the other cross-referenced publications, , particularly the Journal of Geophysical Research paper by Ruppel and others (2019). The heat flow measurements were made once a day or once every several days (occasionally two per day) during USGS occupation of the T-3 ice island. The measurements were made through a permanent hole in the ice (moonpool) maintained under the protection of a hut near the Colby Bay portion of the T-3 ice island. The apparatus consisted of a corer with attached thermistors (four thermistors during the first few years of the operation and then five thermistors on a slightly longer core barrel during subsequent years). The thermistor closest to the bottom of the core barrel was designated as #1. Thermistor accuracy was 0.001 degrees Celsius based on Lachenbruch and others(2019). The corer with attached thermistors was lowered to the seafloor on a winch system. The probe remained in the bottom sediments long enough for the frictional heat pulse associated with sediment penetration to decay to the conductive part of the curve so that an equilibrium temperature could be determined for each thermistor during post-analysis. Thermal conductivity was not measured in situ in the seafloor. The probe was recovered with sediments in the corer. Far more sediment cores were recovered than heat flow measurements taken (for example, refer to the information in the University of Wisconsin NCEI dataset at https://doi.org/10.7289/v51834g7 for selected information about USGS T-3 sediment cores). It is unknown whether heat flow measurements were not attempted on every coring run or whether the heat flow probe or recording instrumentation suffered frequent problems. The consistent recovery of sediment cores indicates that the probe penetrated the sediments at many locations, meaning that a heat flow measurement was in theory possible at those locations as well. After completion of a measurement, data would have been analyzed to determine an equilibrium temperature for each thermistor. These equilibrium temperature data have been lost, as have the bottom water temperature data recorded during the surveys and information about the penetration depth of the probe. For Ruppel and others (2019)--see cross-reference, attempts were made to use the lengths of recovered cores as an indicator of the probe's penetration depth to assist in determination of equilibrium thermal gradients, but this analysis was unsuccessful. The reported data from the heat flow measurements are thermal gradients between adjacent thermistors. For a 4-thermistor penetration with all 4 thermistors operational, the dataset provides thermal gradient values between thermistors 1 and 2, 2 and 3, and 3 and 4. If one thermistor were not functioning (for example, thermistor #2), the reported gradients would be between thermistors 1 and 3 and 3 and 4. Thermal conductivity values were measured on the laboratory benchtop on recovered sediment cores using needle probes. The reported values correspond to core sections between each of the working thermistors. For example, if a gradient is reported for the interval between thermistors 2 and 3, then the dataset gives a corresponding thermal conductivity determination in that interval from the corresponding core. The original thermal conductivity data have been lost, but it is suspected that far more thermal conductivity measurements were completed than are compiled or averaged to generate the values in the dataset. Ruppel and others (2019)--see cross-reference-- analyzes some of the thermal conductivity data in this dataset. Heat flow was calculated by multiplying average thermal gradient and average thermal conductivity. Uncertainties are reported on a subset of the values as a percentage of the heat flow. A maximum heat flow uncertainty is also provided by for heat flow values to which a percentage deviation was assigned. Process date likely spanned the duration of the experiment and is reported below as the last day of 1974, which is the approximate date of the USGS report provided in Lachenbruch and others (2019)--see cross-reference Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: Lachenbruch and others (2019)--see cross-reference Process_Date: 19741231 Process_Step: Process_Description: This process step details how the original table was digitized and quality checked. The original table was available only as a PDF scan of Table 2 from Lachenbruch and others (2019). In 2016, Carolyn Ruppel manually keyed most of this table. Subsequently, technical staff (B. Clark and M. Arsenault) at the USGS Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center conducted optical character recognition on parts of the scanned file. The two inputs were combined, and then Deborah Hutchinson conducted quality control on the resulting table. This process identified entries that were partially illegible in the original PDF scan of the report, positions that had been improperly keyed, and one position (station FL-532) that did not plot on the T-3 navigation track obtained through independent means and released with this dataset as "T-3 Ice Island One Hour Navigation: May 14, 1962 to September 15, 1974." Values were corrected in the table based on this analysis. It is expected that some errors likely remain in the transfer of the original PDF scan to the digital data file. It is not believed that any of the possible errors affect the subsequent outcome or analysis in any significant way. The initial digital files and the accompanying scanned portions of the original data table are provided in the following images included in this dataset: Table2_2to66.jpg, Table2_71to146.jpg, Table2_147to231.jpg, Table2_233to287.jpg, Table2_288to340.jpg, Table2_341to386.jpg, Table2_387to441.jpg, Table2_442to552.jpg, Table2_556to584.jpgj.
