Visualizing Air
Dr. Andreas Pflitsch deploys a smoke flare in the recesses of Mothera cave as a visual component to his teams climatological studies of Mt. St. Helens glacier cave system. In addition to using these visual aids his team uses data loggers (left in situ to monitor air temp throughout the year) and Sonics (highly sensitive instruments that calculate wind speed and direction) with the hopes of establishing baseline data for how fumerol formed glacier caves compare to other environments like subway systems.
