-20 to -10 WSTP Seafloor, T Core 1230A-1H 1.9



-10 to 0 Adara Seafloor, T Core 1230A-1H 1.75 Good


0 Adara Seafloor, T Core 1230E-1H 1.74 Good


32.5 Adara Core 1230E-4H 0.75 3.19 OK but large confidence interval; ends far from equilibrium


33.3 DVTP B Core 1230A-4H 0.75 3.13 Good 107 Clay and quartz-bearing diatom ooze No cracks or voids in Section 201-1230-5H-1
73.5 DVTP B Core 1230B-10H Starts rising again after 2 min 130 Clay bearing diatom silt Highly disrupted 0-150 cm
79.9 DVTP B Core 1230A-10H Three large oscillations ratchet temperature upward 107 Clay-rich diatom ooze Void with cracks at 30 cm
100 DVTP B Core 1230B-13H 0.77 5.38 Good; adjusted down by 0.38 for DVTP 2 81 Nannofossil-bearing clay-rich diatom ooze Very few cracks in Hole 1230A at this depth
148.3 DVTP B Core 1230A-18H Value too low—comparable to bottom-water temperature 34 Clay-rich diatom ooze Void with cracks at 105 cm
225.3 Adara Core 1230A-29H Slow oscillation, rises in second half


254.6 DVTP B Core 1230A-36P 0.91 10.34 Good 17 Quartz and feldspar-rich diatom ooze Not possible to assess due to low recovery
277.3 0.83* 11.16



Notes: WSTP = Water Sampling Temperature Probe, DVTP = Davis-Villinger Temperature Probe. T = top of core, B = bottom of core. — = not applicable. * = average thermal conductivity. † = projected temperature at base of hole using parabolic projection. The last line shows the temperature extrapolated to the base of the hole using linear fit in Figure F27 and the mean thermal conductivity computed from data plotted in Figure F25.
