Abstract
The state of polarization (SOP) is measured in aerial fiber during winter and summer. Correlations are made between the SOP changing and the current weather to search for the reason of the fastest SOP fluctuations. The fastest SOP changes are found to be faster than 10 ms, which is limited by the resolution of the measurements.
