Fiber-optic distributed temperature sensing data collected along the Quashnet River, Mashpee/Falmouth MA

Description

Heat is used as a tracer for a variety of physical hydrogeological process. Several types of instruments are used to measure the temperature of surface water and saturated sediments. In the Quashnet River we have been using methods that include: infrared, individual logging thermistors, and fiber-optic distributed temperature sensing. The latter type of data (FO_DTS) are described and presented here.
