TLDR
In this article, a plot of enthalpy versus chloride is used for determining underground temperatures, salinities, and boiling and mixing relations of hot-spring waters. But, the utility of this approach is illustrated using hot spring composition data from Cerro Prieto, Mexico, Orakeikorako, New Zealand, and Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming.About:

Geothermal systems ancient and modern: a geochemical review
R.W. Henley,A.J. Ellis +1 more
TL;DR: Geothermal systems occur in a range of crustal settings as mentioned in this paper, including those occurring in regions of active or recently active volcanism, where magmatic heat at depths up to 8 km leads to convection of groundwater in the upper crust.

The chemistry of geothermal waters in Iceland. III. Chemical geothermometry in geothermal investigations
TL;DR: In this paper, a new CO2 geothermometer is proposed which is considered to be useful in estimating underground temperatures in fumarolic geothermal fields, its application involves analysis of CO2 concentrations in the fumarole steam.
Journal ArticleDOI
The use of mixing models and chemical geothermometers for estimating underground temperatures in geothermal systems
TL;DR: In this article, a new carbonate-silica mixing model is proposed which is useful in distinguishing boiled and non-boiled geothermal waters, which can also be used to estimate underground temperatures using data from warm springs.

Arsenic and antimony in geothermal waters of Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA
TL;DR: A total of 268 thermal spring samples were analyzed for total soluble As using reduced molybdenum-blue; 27 of these samples were also analyzed for Sb using flame atomic absorption spectrometry as discussed by the authors.

Sulfur geochemistry of hydrothermal waters in Yellowstone National Park: I. The origin of thiosulfate in hot spring waters
TL;DR: The results indicate that no thiosulfate occurs in the deeper parts of themore-» hydrothermal system as discussed by the authors. But, polythionate was detected only in Cinder Pool, Norris Geyser basin, at concentrations up to 8 {micro}mol/L, with an average S-chain length from 4.1 to 4.9 sulfur atoms.

An empirical NaKCa geothermometer for natural waters
TL;DR: In this article, an empirical method of estimating the last temperature of water-rock interaction has been devised, based upon molar Na, K and Ca concentrations in natural waters from temperature environments ranging from 4 to 340°C.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical geothermometers and mixing models for geothermal systems
TL;DR: The most widely used quantitative chemical geothermometers are silica, Na/K, and Na-K-Ca as mentioned in this paper, which can provide information about present probable minimum subsurface temperatures.

Estimation of underground temperatures from the silica content of water from hot springs and wet-steam wells
R. O. Fournier,J. J. Rowe +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the silica content of boiling water discharged at the surface to estimate underground temperature of last equilibrium with quartz, provided correction is made for steam forming during solution ascent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative interpretation of chemical characteristics of hydrothermal systems
TL;DR: A review of chemical reactions and equilibria which occur in hydrothermal waters can be found in this article, where the authors show that it is not always necessary to postulate a magmatic fluid origin for chemicals in natural hot waters.

The effects of subsurface boiling and dilution on the isotopic compositions of Yellowstone thermal waters
TL;DR: In this paper, the differences in chloride, oxygen 18, and deuterium between surface and deep thermal waters have been calculated for single-stage (in which steam remains mixed with water and separates near a single temperature) and continuous steam separation.
