Dataset description
We provide below the full data set used by Simon et al. (Water Resources Research, 2020) corresponding to active-DTS measurements achieved in an experimental bench. The authors propose here two different and complementary interpretation methods for interpreting the temperature rise measured along a single fiber-optic cable used as a heat source and for monitoring temperature. The interpretation methods provide accurate estimate of both the thermal conductivity of the saturated porous media and the groundwater flow. The experimental data available here was used to validate the application of the methods and define its uncertainties and limits. A description of the experiment and of the general setup is available here.
The data was acquired in a lab at the University of Poitiers, which is part of the French network of hydrogeological observatories H+ (http://hplus.ore.fr/en/).
