Temperature profiles in wells on the island of Hawaii

Abstract

Temperature versus depth is reported for 21 wells on the island of Hawaii. The highest temperatures were measured in wells on Kilauea's east rift zone in the Puna area. Temperatures decrease rapidly north and south of the rift zone. Above-average temperatures were observed in two wells in the south Kohala area.
