Microgravity data collected along a survey line from Laguna Colorada to Laguna Verde at Uturuncu Volcano in the central Andes during November 2022. The raw data were gathered using a field gravimeter and have been preprocessed with tidal and drift corrections. Data are reported relative to a reference station (UBAS) located west of Uturuncu near Laguna Colorada.
Use Cases
- Modeling subsurface mass changes based on corrected microgravity measurements.
- Monitoring volcanic unrest and deformation by analyzing gravity variations over time.
- Calibrating geophysical models of the Altiplano-Puna Volcanic Complex using field-collected data.
- Studying the relationship between gravity anomalies and volcanic features along the survey line.
Strengths
- Data have been preprocessed and corrected for tidal and drift effects, which reduces common noise sources.
- Measurements are tied to a fixed reference station (UBAS), enabling relative change analysis.
- Collection occurred during a defined field campaign in November 2022, providing a temporal snapshot.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for statistical methods.
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
