Magnetotelluric survey of Jupiter Prospect, South Australia, 2021 (Packed raw MTU-8A, MTU-5C time-series archive)

Brief description

This record was harvested by RDA at 2026-09-03T11:58:31.048857+10:00 from NCI's Data Catalogue where it was last modified at 2026-02-23.

Full description

This dataset contains raw broadband magnetotelluric (MT) time-series data acquired during the Jupiter MT survey conducted in South Australia in May 2021. The dataset comprises unprocessed recordings of orthogonal electric-field (Ex, Ey) and magnetic-field (Bx, By) components collected at all 63 survey sites together with the continuously recording remote-reference site. Time-series data are preserved in their original acquisition formats and retain the sampling characteristics, channel configurations, and recording durations obtained during field operations. No signal processing, filtering, editing, or frequency-domain transformation has been applied beyond file collation and packaging for archival preservation. These data constitute the primary observational record of the Jupiter MT survey and provide the source data from which all subsequent processed and derived MT products are generated.

Lineage

This dataset contains raw broadband magnetotelluric (MT) time-series data derived directly from field acquisition activities undertaken during the Jupiter MT survey conducted in South Australia in May 2021. Data are preserved in the original native acquisition formats generated by Geoscience Australia MTU-8A systems and University of Adelaide MTU-5C systems and represent unprocessed field measurements collected at all survey sites and the associated remote-reference site. The dataset includes deployment metadata recorded during field operations, including station identifiers, geographic coordinates, deployment and recovery dates, and associated field observations where available. The dataset has not undergone signal processing, filtering, resampling, calibration, or transformation beyond file collation and packaging for archival preservation. Persistent identifiers and associated hardware provenance records for individual instruments are maintained separately and may be used to resolve instrument-specific deployment information and equipment provenance. This dataset constitutes the authoritative raw time-series archive of field-acquired observations from the Jupiter MT survey and forms the basis for all subsequent processed, interpreted, and derived data products.
