Abstract
⺠Maximum temperatures are 68.3 °C in Atlantis II Deep and 45.0 °C in Discovery Deep. ⺠Temperature of all convective layers increased since the 1960s at the same rate. ⺠Heat is lost from the brine pools to overlying Red Sea Deep Water. ⺠New upper brine layer at 1900-1990 m appeared sometime between 1976 and 1992. ⺠Hydrothermal heat flux decreased since 1966 from 0.54 GW to 0.18 GW.
