Fiber Optic Temperature Sensing in Hydrology

USGS hydrologists deploy fiber-optic distributed temperature sensing equipment in Ashumet Pond, Mashpee, Massachusetts. Fiber-optic distributed temperature sensing is an emerging technology that has promise for characterizing estuary-aquifer interaction. The technology evaluation was conducted by the USGS Office of Groundwater Branch of Geophysics in 2007.
