About this survey

Forty seven magnetotelluric soundings recorded by Adelaide University between 28 April and 9 May 2012 over the Paralana geothermal field in the northern Flinders Ranges, South Australia. A west to east line of 32 broadband sites about 1 km apart runs 33 km, and 15 long period sites about 3 km apart run 43 km along the same line, 11 re-occupying a broadband site. Broadband periods run 0.0107 to 328 seconds, 24 or 31 a station; long period 5.3 to 8197 seconds, 20 or 22. Only the long period stations carry a vertical field transfer function. Every site recorded Ex, Ey, Hx and Hy on an Earth Data PR6-24 logger, at 500 Hz broadband and 10 Hz long period, against a dedicated remote reference 38 km south west of the line that no delivery holds a file for. The broadband files declare a 15 degree rotation and the long period files none; both are served as stored.
