Uturuncu Volcano GPS Observations from 2018 and 2022 Campaigns

November 2018 and November 2022 GPS observation campaigns at the Uturuncu volcano in the Altiplano-Puna Deformation Anomaly. The data comprises RINEX files from 8 stations in 2018 and 10 stations in 2022, with collection durations ranging from 1 to 6 days per site. The data was collected by the British Geological Survey (BGS) under NERC Grant NE/S008845/1.

Use Cases

• Modeling temporal deformation patterns based on repeated GPS campaigns.
• Analyzing ground displacement at the Uturuncu volcano based on GNSS observations.
• Constraining volcanic inflation or deflation signals based on multi-year GPS station data.
• Validating satellite-based InSAR measurements with ground-based GPS data from specific stations.

Strengths

• Contains data from two distinct campaigns in 2018 and 2022, enabling temporal analysis.
• Specifies the exact GPS receiver and antenna models used (e.g., Leica GR30, AS10, Topcon Hiper Pro).
• Lists the names and codes of 8 stations from 2018 and 10 stations from 2022.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect temporal bias inherent to the specific campaign dates in November.
