The NeMO Net RAS System B is located at Dave's vent, a low-temperature diffuse vent in the ASHES vent field. The original deployment indicated the system was not positioned properly in the diffuse flow (the temperature readings were near ambient, 2degC). The system was later repositioned and temperature data now show the system is well positioned at the vent. (See 'All data' graph below).
