Dark fiber refers to unused optical fiber cables in telecommunications networks and is repurposed in this project for DAS applications. The objective, which is further detailed in the attached journal article from Ajo-Franklin et al., is to demonstrate dark fiber DAS as a tool for basin-scale geothermal exploration and monitoring. The included DAS data were recorded during two days at the beginning the project. Data is stored in the .h5 (HDF5) file format, readable using various software tools, including the 'h5read' and 'h5info' functions in Matlab. Provided here are examples of methods to read and use the data with the 'h5py' package in Python.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://data.openei.org/s3_viewer?bucket=gdr-data-lake&prefix=imperialvalleydas%2F", "description": "This dataset contains continuous raw DAS data acquired over a period of two days (November 12-13, 2020) at the beginning of the Imperial Valley Dark Fiber Project.
