The data was compared to 2002 and 2007 datasets. Taken together, the data indicate that the plume is being advected in a westerly direction. Turbidity decreased significantly from 2002 to 2009. Other trends are discussed.en-USVolcanic plumes--South Pacific Ocean--Kermadec ArcBrothers volcano--South Pacific Ocean--Kermadec ArcSalinity--South Pacific Ocean--Kermadec Arc--ObservationsChemical oceanography--South Pacific Ocean--Kermadec Arc--ObservationsTemporal changes in venting at Brothers volcano, as indicated by backscatter and oxidation-reduction potentialOther
