Long-period Magnetotelluric Time Series from Suffolk, UK, Jan-Feb 2022

Long-period Magnetotelluric time series recorded at site TL85 near Shimpling, Suffolk, UK, in January and February 2022. The data consist of measurements of the Earth's natural magnetic and electric field variations. It was funded by the UK's Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) under grant NE/V002694/1 and is associated with the British Geological Survey (BGS).

Use Cases

• Modeling subsurface electrical conductivity based on natural magnetic and electric field variations.
• Studying geomagnetic induction processes in the UK region based on time-series data.
• Calibrating magnetotelluric instrumentation and processing methods using field-recorded data.

Strengths

• Data covers a specific two-month period (January to February 2022), providing a focused temporal snapshot.
• Funded by a specific NERC grant (NE/V002694/1), indicating a formal research context.
• Associated with the British Geological Survey (BGS), a recognized national geological institution.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling.
• Description metadata contains a conflicting site location (mentions both TL85 and NT91), requiring verification.
