Rodriguez, B.D., Johnson M.R., Sampson J., Falvo, C.I.P., Enns, K.D., Bell, T.M. and Everette, A.L., 2018, Magnetotelluric Data from the San Andreas Fault, Parkfield CA, 1990: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/F7ZK5FW3.

Summary

The EDI time series and cross power data were converted from ASCII format using Python-based software developed for this preservation project. The data in EDI format can use magnetotelluric interpretation software to produce models of the resistivity of the measured environment. The metadata in the Info section of the EDI files can be used to convert data to SPUD format, another format used for modelling (Wight, 1988).

Purpose

EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) is a formatting standard used in the magnetotelluric field. Having magnetotelluric data available in this format facilitates the data being used in modern modelling and analyses.
