  • Water temperature distribution measurement system employing optical cable and means for determining a water depth at various points along the optical cable
    Patent number: 5198662
    Abstract: A measuring system measures temperature distribution in water using an optical fiber. An optical fiber cable suspended from a ship and towed by the ship to form an arch within the water. A measuring device for continuously measuring temperature at various points along the lengths of said optical fiber cable. Sensors are provided within the water to calculate the water depth at each of the various points along the length of the arch shaped optical fiber. Thus, a temperature distribution at each water depth can be continuously measured.
