| Purpose | To gather time series methane flux data in a field of known methane seeps on the seafloor. | ||||||||
| Location | Area west of Prins Karls Forland (island on the west side of Svalbard, Norway). | ||||||||
| Summary | Methane and CO2 concentrations in air and water were collected. Data have not been processed. | ||||||||
| Info derived | Methane and CO2 concentrations in air and water. | ||||||||
| Comments | The USGS-Gas Analysis System (USGS-GAS) was used to measure CO2 and CH4. | ||||||||
