The timewise evolution of polarisation mode dispersion (PMD) is measured. PMD varies very slowly in a 120 km installed optical submarine cable. The measured timewise evolution of PMD suggests that compensation with a response time shorter than a few minutes can greatly reduce the system performance degradation caused by PMD.
