Geophone plate data from the Sulden/Solda basin (South Tyrol, Italy) 2014-2020

This dataset contains the post-processing of 7 years of seismic data collected through geophone plates installed at the monitoring station of Stilfserbrücke - Ponte Stelvio (South Tyrol, Italy) in the framework of the AQUASED project (http://www.mountain-eering.com/wp/mountain-eering/i-nostri-servizi/ricerca-e-sviluppo/studio-aquased/) and analyzed in the paper “Bedload fluxes in a glacier-fed river at multiple temporal scales” by Coviello et al. (2022). The monitoring station is located in the Sulden/Solda basin (130 km²). Eight geophone plates are equipped with 10-Hz vertical geophones, which continuously measure the vibration induced by the impact of bedload at a sampling frequency of 5 kHz. The 8 geophone plates are installed along the cross section and extends for 4 m, corresponding to half of the channel width (8 m) from the mid-channel (ch 1) to the right bank (ch 8), and are fixed on a check dam with a cantilevered metal structure. From the raw seismic data, the following signal metrics have been extracted and constitute the dataset: the impulses (Imp/min) calculated with four different thresholds (0.01, 0.04, 0.16, 0.32 V), the maximum amplitude (V), the main frequency (Hz) and the integral of the squared amplitude (V²) over 1-min time window. This dataset provides the above-mentioned signal metrics for the period 2014 to 2020, separated per plate (from DB_aquased_ch1.dat to DB_aquased_ch8.dat).
