Abstract:
Electromagnetic induction (EMI) was measured with a CMD-Mini Explorer (GF Instruments s.r.o., Brno, Czech Republic) in May 2018 and June 2019. We used the vertical dipole (VDP) at coil spacings of 0.32 m (VDP1), 0.71 m (VDP2) and 1.18 m (VDP3). With the existing coil spacings, effective penetration depths of 0.5 m (VDP1), 1.0 m (VDP2) and 1.8 m (VDP3) could be achieved. According to the manufacturer, 70 % of the signal originate from above these depths. The EMI sensors measured the apparent electrical conductivity (ECa, in mS/m). Measurements were taken by carrying the instrument about 0.2 m above the ground while being directly connected to D-GPS (Leica GPS1200) for positioning. The acquisition rate was five measurements per second. Data quality was checked by measuring a reference line before and after each measurement. The maximum offset of the EMI values between the two time points was 1.5 mS/m. We corrected the data and removed the reference lines and single outliers.
The data set contains the EMI data with an intercoil spacing of 0.71 m (VDP2).
