Deep Direct-Use Feasibility Study Temperature-Depth Estimates for West Virginia University, Morgantown, WV

Description

This dataset contains data spreadsheets and figures that summarize the results of a stochastic analysis of temperatures at depth below the West Virginia University campus in Morgantown, WV. These results are extracted from a study by Smith (2019), whose results are included in a GDR submission that provides rasters and shapefiles for the Appalachian Basin states of New York, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia (GDR submission #1182). Uncertainties considered included geologic properties, thermal properties, and uncertainty from geostatistical interpolation of the surface heat flow. A Monte Carlo analysis of these uncertain properties was used to predict temperatures at depth using a 1-D heat conduction model. For the pixel corresponding to West Virginia University, a .csv file containing the 10,000 temperature-depth profiles estimated from a Monte Carlo analysis is provided. Temperatures are provided for depths from 1-5 km in 0.5 km increments. These data are summarized in a figure containing violin plots that illustrates the probability of obtaining certain temperatures at depth for Morgantown.

10 The purpose of this document is to describe the contents of information contained within this submission to the Geothermal Data Repository (GDR) about temperature-depth estimates for WVU https://gdr.openei.org/files/1192/Temperature-Depth%20Estimates%20for%20West%20Virginia%20University_WVUDDUProject.docx
34 Violin plots of the temperatures at depth for WVU campus-Morgantown. Data for the violin plots are from the 355347_MorgantownTemperatureDepthReplicates.csv file. https://gdr.openei.org/files/1192/MorgantownTemperaturesAtDepth.png
8 File containing the 10,000 replicates of temperature-depth estimates for the pixel corresponding to West Virginia University in Morgantown, WV, from the Appalachian Basin temperature-depth resource assessment by Smith (2019). The number 355347 is the pixel index number on the maps in the Appalachian Basin Temperature Depth Maps in GDR submission #1182. Columns: rep: the replicate ID number, from 0 - 9999. TXkm, TXp5 km, TBase: temperature estimated at X km, X.5 km, and basement depth, respectively. https://gdr.openei.org/files/1192/355347_MorgantownTemperatureDepthReplicates.csv
