The system consists of a submerged, reinforced, multi-fiber cable containing six single-mode telecom grade optical fibers that, exploiting the stimulated Brillouin scattering, provide distributed temperature sensing (DTS) with 1 m of spatial resolution. The obtained data show that the offshore caldera, at least along the monitored profile, has many points of heat discharge associated with fluid emission. A loose association between the temperature profile and the main structural features of the offshore caldera was also evidenced by comparing DTS data with a high-resolution reflection seismic survey. This represents an important advancement in the monitoring of this high-risk volcanic area, since temperature variations are among the precursors of magma migration towards the surface and are also crucial data in the study of caldera dynamics. The adopted system can also be applied to many other calderas which are often partially or largely submerged and hence difficult to monitor.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs8080674","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,8,19]],"date-time":"2016-08-19T09:58:27Z","timestamp":1471600707000},"page":"674","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Distributed-Temperature-Sensing Using Optical Methods: A First Application in the Offshore Area of Campi Flegrei Caldera (Southern Italy) for Volcano Monitoring"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Stefano","family":"Carlino","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV), Sezione di Napoli Osservatorio Vesuviano, Via Diocleziano 328, 80124 Napoli, Italy"}]},{"given":"Maurizio","family":"Mirabile","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Optosensing S.r.L., Via Olivetti 1, Pozzuoli, 80079 Napoli, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6555-5777","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Claudia","family":"Troise","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV), Sezione di Napoli Osservatorio Vesuviano, Via Diocleziano 328, 80124 Napoli, Italy"}]},{"given":"Marco","family":"Sacchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Istituto per l\u2019Ambiente Marino Costiero (IAMC), CNR, Calata p.ta di Massa, 80133 Napoli, Italy"}]},{"given":"Luigi","family":"Zeni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dipartimento di Ingegneria Industriale e dell\u2019Informazione, Seconda Universit\u00e0 di Napoli, Via Roma 29, 80134 Aversa, Italy"}]},{"given":"Aldo","family":"Minardo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dipartimento di Ingegneria Industriale e dell\u2019Informazione, Seconda Universit\u00e0 di Napoli, Via Roma 29, 80134 Aversa, Italy"}]},{"given":"Mauro","family":"Caccavale","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Istituto per l\u2019Ambiente Marino Costiero (IAMC), CNR, Calata p.ta di Massa, 80133 Napoli, Italy"}]},{"given":"Vir\u00e1g","family":"Dar\u00e1nyi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geophysics and Space Science, E\u00f6tv\u00f6s Lor\u00e1nd University, P\u00e1zm\u00e1ny P\u00e9ter S\u00e9t\u00e1ny 1\/C, 1117 Budapest, Hungary"}]},{"given":"Giuseppe","family":"De Natale","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV), Sezione di Napoli Osservatorio Vesuviano, Via Diocleziano 328, 80124 Napoli, Italy"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,8,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"McGuire, B., Kilburn, C.R.J., and Murray, J.
