The eruption of Axial Volcano in January 1998 produced extensive plumes in the overlying water column with large anomalies in Fe, Mn, pH, light attenuation, and temperature. A strong correlation between total iron and light attenuation (dc) suggests a low abundance of particulate sulfur (PS) in the plumes. Because total carbon dioxide (ΣCO 2 ) samples were not collected, high‐precision pH measurements were used to estimate maximum CO 2 anomalies (ΔCO 2 ) which, when compared to the other physical and chemical data, suggest that the fluids being vented 3 weeks after eruption were formed by the interaction between an intruded dike and a mixture of interstitial seawater and mature hydrothermal fluids.
