Abstract

According to a study of the water column thermal variability in the Kvitøya trough (the northern part of the Barents Sea) substantial water temperature fluctuations in the near-bottom layer were found, both the seasonal and interannual, which affect the distribution of temperature in the upper layer of bottom sediments, and therefore the results of geothermal measurements. The contribution of temperature fluctuations on the water-sediments boundary to the values of the conductive heat flow measured during 25th cruise of the RV “Akademik Nikolaj Strakhov” was calculated. Endogenous heat flow was determined.
