The borehole was located near the mouth of the Scott River (right bank), at a distance of about 75 m from the shoreline and 900 m from the station. After stopping the drilling progress again at 5 m below sea level, a decision was made to install a string in the third hole.

Instrument routine maintenance Service of the thermistor string is planned at least once a year at the end of summer season. The battery in the logger should be replaced once every 5 years. Sampling procedures Thermistor string has the sensors at the following depths: 0.0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5 (a), 0.5 (b), 1.0, 1.5 (a), 1,5 (b), 2.0, 2.5 (a), 2.5 (b), 3.0, 3.5 (a), 3.5 (b), 4.0, 4.5, 5.0 m. Sampling every 1 hour and saving to internal memory.
