Scientists review fiber-optic distributed temperature sensing (FO-DTS) data in the field
Detailed Description
USGS Research Hydrologists Neil Terry and Marty Briggs review fiber-optic distributed temperature sensing (FO-DTS) data with Dale Werkema of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as the data are collected along Cement Creek near Silverton, Colorado, in September 2019 to determine the locations of mine drainage inflows to the stream. The data were visualized and analyzed for statistical metrics in real-time using the USGS DTS-GUI software.
