Magnetotelluric and Transient Electromagnetic data from Afar, Ethiopia (NERC Grant NE/E007147/1)

This data set comprises broadband magnetotelluric (MT) and transient electromagnetic (TEM) data collected during three field seasons in 2008, 2009 and 2010 by a team of researchers from the University of Edinburgh, UK, IMAGIR, Brest, France and the Institute for Geophysics, Space Science and Astronomy at Addis Ababa University, Ethiopia. The MT dataset includes the original time series and processed transfer functions. The time series data are provided in the original raw data format with files to convert them to ascii. Raw and processed TEM data, collected with a Geonics PROTEM system, are included. We provide information on the locations and the processing and include the necessary instrument response functions and metadata to reproduce our results from the raw data.
