How the Moon Impacts Subsea Communication Cables

Abstract

We report tidal-induced latency variations on a transpacific subsea cable. Week-long recordings with a precision phase meter suggest length changes in the sub-meter range caused by the Poisson effect. The described method adds to the toolbox for the new field >>optical oceanic seismology<<.
