This locally enhanced structure is caused by a temperature patch resulting from the strong turbulent eddies (gray ellipses in lower panels of Figure 12).
Owing to logistical issues, skin temperature (Tsk) was only monitored over the left thigh with a wireless dermal adhesive temperature patch (VitalSense, Mini Mitter, Respironics, Herrsching, Germany).
Core (Tcore) and skin (Tskin) temperatures were monitored via the Vitalsense system (precision 0.01 °C, Mini Mitter, Respironics, Herrsching, Germany) using an ingestible thermometer pill (swallowed 5 h before each trial) and an adhesive temperature patch on the right gastrocnemius medialis.
Conversely, strong microscale eddies in case B4L produce temperature patches on scales of approximately 2 km, which are locally enhanced around 55.5 km at x = 1,000 m.
It also can give rise to different temperature patches, locally varying albedos and emissivities, and may explain the formation of permanent dust mantles.
Weak turbulent eddies induce microscale temperature patches associated with gravity waves in the upper stable layer, and thereby form a wave-like profile of static stability above 55 km.
The effects of cool-down temperature during patch bonding, disbond and bending moment were also investigated.
Whole cell current clamp recordings were made at room temperature using patch electrodes (4-7 mΩ) and Axopatch 200B amplifier (Molecular Devises).
Slices were perfused with ACSF (in mM: 125 NaCl, 1.25 KCl, 2.5 CaCl2, 1.5 MgCl2, 1.25 KH25O4, 25 NandO3, and 16 glucose) and the sIAHP was recorded at room temperature with patch pipettes made of borosilicate glass and containing a gluconate-based intracellular solution (in mM: 135 K-gluconate, 10 KCl, 10 HEPES, 1 MgCl2, 2 ATP-Na, and 0.4 GTP-Na).
We therefore looked at green and red fluorescence emission from BODIPY-PC, -SM and -GlcCer patches on erythrocytes, after insertion from 1 µM (usual concentration) to 3 µM, at the optimal temperature for patches formation (20°C for BODIPY-PC and -SM vs 37°C for BODIPY-GlcCer).
Previous studies of Milos microbial ecology would suggest that lower temperature white patches would be the most likely areas for an active microbial vent community.
