|---|---|
| Dataset creators | Juliane Huebert, British Geological Survey Kathy Whaler, University of Edinburgh |
| Dataset theme | Geoscientific Information |
| Dataset abstract | This data set includes the original time series collected with broadband and long-period MT instruments during two field seasons in 2016 and 2017 by a team of researchers from the University of Edinburgh, UK and the Institute for Geophysics, Space Science and Astronomy at Addis Ababa university, Ethiopia. For the magnetotelluric stations, processed transfer functions are included in the edi file format. The time series data is provided both in the original raw data format and an ascii version. We provide information on the locations and the processing and include the necessary instrument response functions and metadata to reproduce our results from the raw data. |
