Brady's Geothermal Field Nodal Seismometer Data

Published by University of Wisconsin | Department of Energy | Catalog Last Checked: March 23, 2026 at 09:40 PM | Dataset Last Updated: June 30, 2021 at 06:51 PM
This submission includes links to raw data, field notes, metadata, and p-wave arrival auto-picks from processed data (not provided) from the nodal seismometer array deployed at the PoroTomo Natural Laboratory in Brady's Hot Springs, Nevada during the March 2016 testing. The data is available as continuous or windowed (to vibroseis sweep) files and is stored in an AWS S3 bucket. Note: No raw data was recovered from stations 73 and 82. These data are available for download without login credentials through the free and publicly accessible Open Energy Data Initiative (OEDI) data viewer which allows users to browse and download individual or groups of files.
