PoroTomo: Horizontal Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) Measurements During an M 2.3 Explosion

Description

Included here are Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) data collected by the horizontal DAS array at Brady's Hot Springs Geothermal Field. The system recorded this data during an M 2.3 explosion at the Nevada Test Site (NTS), which is located approximately 400km southeast of the field. On December 19, 2018, a Silixa iDAS interrogator continuously acquired data on single-mode fibers, starting approximately two hours prior to the detonation and extending until 15 minutes after the event. This dataset comprises separate SEG-Y files that span the entire recording interval. The measurement fiber was part of the PoroTomo experiment and is horizontally emplaced in alluvial fan gravels at a depth of approximately one meter for a distance of more than 2.5 km in a zig-zag pattern. Exact coordinates of this DAS surface array are provided in the attached GDR dataset below. The iDAS interrogator channel spacing is 1.021 m and gauge length is 10 m. Concurrent Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) measurements made with a Silixa XT on the multi-mode fibers aided in calibrating the DAS measurements.

21 Data for the entire recording period are presented here in SEG-Y format, with individual files representing a thirty-second recording interval. Recordings begin about 2 hours prior to the detonation on December 19, 2018 at 18:45:57 (UTC), and continue after for about 15 minutes. https://data.openei.org/s3_viewer?bucket=nrel-pds-porotomo&prefix=DAS%2FSEG-Y%2FDASH_NV-test-site-explosion%2F

21 Data for the entire recording period are presented here in HDF5 format, with individual files representing a thirty-second recording interval. Recordings begin about 2 hours prior to the detonation on December 19, 2018 at 18:45:57 (UTC), and continue after for about 15 minutes. These HDF5 files were standardized from the original SEG-Y files.
