Literature Review
The Global Heat Flow Database (GHFDB) is committed to maintaining the highest standards of data quality. To achieve this, we have implemented a rigorous literature review process that ensures all datasets are thoroughly vetted before being made publicly available.

Geothermal Heat Flow in the Gulfs of California and Aden
Eighteen measurements in and near the gulfs of California and Aden indicate the geothermal flux is several times the world-wide mean of 1.2 x 10(-6) cal/cm(2) sec in both regions. Both gulfs closely coincide with the intersection of oceanic rises with continents and have likely been formed under tensional forces, which suggests an association with mantle convection currents.

A region of uniform heat flow in the North Atlantic
Heat flow was determined at sixteen stations regularly spaced over a region of the North American basin between Bermuda and the Bahama Banks. The results show a remarkable uniformity of heat flow in this area, which measures about 800 by 900 km. The mean heat flow at the sixteen stations is 1.14 ?cal/cm2 sec, with a standard deviation of 0.06. When allowance is made for experimental errors the actual standard deviation of heat flow in the region is estimated to be only 4½ per cent. Another measurement made at the southern edge of this area, near the Puerto Rico trench, …

A close group of heat-flow stations
Ten heat-flow measurements have been made in a closely surveyed area some 400 miles west of the Canary Islands. The values found range from 1.03 to 1.39 ?cal cm?2 sec?1, the standard deviation being only a little greater than the estimated instrumental errors and there being some correlation between the heat flux and topography. This creates confidence that the outrigger type of heat-flow apparatus measures real geothermal gradients when its readings are carefully interpreted.
