Fiber optic deployment in Antarctica
The balloon-lifted fiber optics was carried out in Denmark. Here a set of 10 parallel fibers span from ground to the height of the balloons on 2 m centers to observe the development of the boundary layer over a small stream.
The HARP experiment deployed fiber optics in the air by having them go over two rows of pulleys. The sets of pulleys were then stretched apart, resulting in the fibers spanning the space between the pulley’s on 25 cm spacing.

CTEMPs provides field-deployable high-precision fiber optic temperature measurement systems, wireless self-organizing multi-parameter sensor stations, and Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). User fees are very low, and experiment design, installation, and data analysis is supported by a staff of scientists. Instruments are available now, obtained rapidly through an online request form. All non-commercial projects for discovery and education are welcome.
CTEMPs offers a series of courses to train researchers and students on the leading edge of distributed sensing and UAS.
CTEMPs has developed a suite of policies on instrument accessibility and data sharing in concert with its Advisory Board and CUAHSI.
