Statement
The dataset contains the raw timeseries of broadband magnetotelluric data collected at 10 sites around St Austell, Cornwall and one remote site in Bodmin Moor, Cornwall. Data were collected by BGS staff in March 2023 using Phoenix Geophysics Ultra-wideband MTU-5C systems on loan from Dublin institute for Advanced Studies, Ireland. A description of the instruments can be found here: https://www.phoenixgeophysics.com/ultra-wideband-mt-systems All receivers and magnetometers were calibrated with the manufacturer's standard procedure at the beginning of the survey. The calibration process produces calibration files that can be used during time series processing. The software (EMPower) to read the data and process can be found here as well as manuals: https://phxgeo.ca/releases/v2.22.0/ Note that for full capabilites of the software a license is required.
