Resumen

This study provides results related to bathymetry and bottom temperatures, as well as water temperature and circulation at Poás Crater Lake, where fumarole activity has been continuous since 1953. One immediately useful result of the research would be an estimate of the heat transfer from sources within the conduit to the overlying water column. As far as geophysical fluid behavior goes, we are interested in the turbulent and diffusive processes by which heat and chemical species are transferred. We are especially interested in the impact on the density stratification of the density changes that occur as particulates settle downward through the fluid column.
