This dataset contains turbidity (NTU) data acquired between August 2018 and June 2019 using a Wetlabs turbidimeter (ECO-BBRTD, serial # 215R) installed horizontally at 1.5 m height at the top of the SeaMoN East frame. The sensor was not calibrated as the sizes of the natural particles are unknown. Data was acquired every 15 minutes. The instrument is part of the SeaMoN East ecological monitoring node deployed at ca 10m away from the active hydrothermal edifice Tour Eiffel.

This dataset contains current data acquired between Auguest 2018 and June 2019 using 3 TCM3 Ocean Bottom Tilt Current Meters installed next to the Tour Eiffel, Montségur and Crystal hydrothermal vent sites. The TCM-3 Ocean Bottom Tilt Current Meter from Lowell Instruments LLC (North Falmouth, MA, USA) measures current using the drag-tilt principle. The logger is buoyant and is anchored to the bottom via a short flexible tether. Drag from moving water tilts the logger in the direction of flow. The logger’s accelerometer and magnetometer channels are used to record the amount of tilt and direction of tilt (compass bearing). The array comprises 3 currentmeters, deployed near the Tour Eiffel, Montségur and Crystal hydrothermal vent sites. It is not connected to an energy node. The currentmeter's internal clocks are set to UTC time before deployment. Clock drift after recovery is not implemented in data but added as metadata in file Sensor Metadata.

This dataset contains dissolved iron concentrations ((Fe(II) + Fe(III); µmol/l) acquired between August 2018 and December 2018 (n=445) using the CHEMINI Fe, a CHEmical MINIaturized analyser (samples taken every 12 hours, with daily in situ calibration using a 20 µmol/l iron standard, Vuillemin et al., 2009). The sample inlet was positioned on the mussel bed at the base of the Tour Eiffel edifice of the Lucky Strike hydrothermal vent (1695 depth).CHEMINI Fe (CF2) was mounted on the TEMPO module which was itself connected to the SeaMON East node of the EMSO-Azores observatory.

This dataset contains seafloor pressure data acquired in the framework of EMSO-Azores observatory between June 2019 and September 2020 using SBE53 pressure gauges deployed on two sites. West site : The sensor was deployed on an existing benchmark installed with the submersible Nautile in August 2006 during the GRAVILUCK cruise (https://doi.org/10.17600/6010110). The benchmark sits on hard substratum with light hydrothermal sedimentation, on the North-West border of the Lucky Strike lava lake, next to a hydrothermal site. East site : The sensor was deployed on an existing benchmark installed by freefall in July 2007 during the MOMARDREAM cruise (https://doi.org/10.17600/7030060). The benchmark sits in the axial valley, East of the LuckyStrike volcano in a lightly sedimented area, with apparent pillow lavas.
