Proof of concept: Temperature-sensing waders for environmental sciences

A prototype temperature-sensing pair of waders is introduced and tested. The water temperature at the streambed is interesting both for scientists studying the hyporheic zone and for, e.g., fishers spotting good fishing locations. A temperature sensor incorporated into waders worn by members of the public can give scientists an additional source...

Stream temperature and stage monitoring using fisherman looking for fish

Comment on ‘‘Capabilities and limitations of tracing spatial temperature patterns by fiber-optic distributed temperature sensing’’ by Liliana Rose et al.

Double-ended calibration of fiber-optic Raman spectra distributed temperature sensing data

Over the past five years, Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) along fiber optic cables using Raman backscattering has become an important tool in the environmental sciences. Many environmental applications of DTS demand very accurate temperature measurements, with typical RMSE < 0.1 K. The aim of this paper is to describe and clarify the...

Feasibility of soil moisture monitoring with heated fiber optics

Accurate methods are needed to measure changing soil water content from meter to kilometer scales. Laboratory results demonstrate the feasibility of the heat pulse method implemented with fiber optic temperature sensing to obtain accurate distributed measurements of soil water content. A fiber optic cable with an electrically conductive armoring...
