自1970年以来，红海热流观测的数量增加了五倍。一个新的热流图连同观测表。新的数据证实，整个红海都与高热流有关。距离轴向槽最深水域5公里以内的观测值平均为467 mWm-2（即约为世界平均值的8倍），距离轴向深水50至170公里的观测值平均为111 mWm-2（即约为世界平均值的2倍）。因此，热流分布是典型的与活跃的扩散中心相关联的热流分布。由于复杂的沉积和构造环境，这些观测结果很难详细评估和解释。高热流至少延伸到红海海岸。
Since 1970, the number of heat flow observations in the Red Sea has increased fivefold. A new heat flow map is presented together with a table of observations. The new data confirm that the whole of the Red Sea is associated with high heat flow. The observations within 5 km distance of the deepest water of the axial trough have a mean of 467 mWm-2 (i.e. about eight times the world mean) and the observations from 50 to 170 km from the axial deep water have a mean of 111 mWm-2 (i.e. about twice the world mean). The heat flow distribution is thus typical of that associated with an active spreading centre. The observations are difficult to assess and interpret in detail because of the complex sedimentary and tectonic environment. The high heat flow extends at least as far as the Red Sea coasts.
