Time series of long-period magnetotelluric data collected between October 2023 and March 2024 at 9 sites in Scotland, UK, as part of the NERC projects NE/S007407/1 and NE/V002694/1. The data consist of measurements of the Earth’s natural electric and magnetic field variations in five channels and with a 1-sec sampling rate. There is a text file with the site coordinates, a single PDF file containing all relevant metadata, and individual ASCII files for each site named by the site ID.

The data set contains the timeseries of long-period magnetotelluric data collected at 44 sites in Great Britain during the SWIMMR-SAGE project 2021-2023. At each site, five channels were recorded with a 1s sampling rate: The magnetic field components (north-south Bx, east-west By, and the vertical component Bz) were measured using a fluxgate magnetometer manufactured from Lemi, Lviv, Ukraine. The horizontal electric field (north-south Ex, east-west Ey) was recorded using non-polarizable electrodes. The installations were performed by BGS staff following the manufacturers guidelines and best practices. For each site, a folder containing the timeseries data and a pdf containing all relevant metadata are provided. Format: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS BX BY BZ EX EY Magnetic values in units of nT (10^-9 T). Electric field values are in mV/km. A BGS open report has been published on the NERC Open Research Archive (NORA) describing the motivation, site selection and data collection.
