German term or phrase: Wärmeflussdecke
"Als letzte Aktion am Brothers-Vulkan haben wir drei der vier ***Wärmeflussdecken*** eingesammelt. Die vierte, die wir im Vulkankrater abgelegt haben, konnten wir wegen der starken Strömungen leider nicht mehr bergen. Sie muss nun bis zu XXX YYYs nächster Ausfahrt zum Brothers-Vulkan im Krater ausharren. Vielleicht hält die Thermometer-Batterie durch, sodass sie den Wärmefluss eines ganzen Jahres aufzeichnet."

This is a short blog entry for an oceanographic research cruise. Not really any more context. It's the "Decke" part that stumps me. My geologic dictionary gives many alternatives for Decke, but combined with the possible translations for Wärmefluss, I don't come up with anything convincing in English.

Lavadecken entstehen durch das Austreten von Lava aus Vulkanen wie Schildvulkane und vulkanischen Spalten - https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavadecke
Die Ausdehnung vulkanisch entstandener Decken hängt wesentlich von den Eigenschaften der aufdringenden Lava ab. Die Menge und Dauer des Ausfließens wird vom Magma-Nachschub bestimmt. - https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavadecke
