Description

This version includes two seismic data sets (in SEGY format) that are shown in the poster. One data set is collected using GS-100 geophones in horizontal mode and the other uses sensors rigidly attached to the interior of aluminum wheels.

Users should be aware of the units assumed for the header values so that they can adjust them accordingly.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the file WtoE_wheel_based_sensors.segy:

Offsets in the headers are cm (not m), ranging from 43 cm to 192 cm. In the header, the sampling interval =12500, but data were collected in the field with sampling intervals of 125 microseconds. The delay time shown in the header is -50 ms and the data were collected in the field with that same delay time.

For the file WtoE_horizontal_component_geophones_100Hz.segy:

Offsets in the headers are cm (not m), ranging from 5 cm to 240 cm. In the header, the sampling interval =5000, but data were collected in the field with sampling intervals of 500microseconds. The delay time shown in the header is -200 ms and the data were collected in the field with that same delay time.
