Filename: [ArchName]_[YYYYMMDD].mseed Short description: Vibration time-series data of the arch. B. Filename: [ArchName]_Reference_[YYYYMMDD].mseed Short description: Vibration time-series data of the reference. C. Filename: [instrument].vel.pz Short description: Pole-zero file corresponding to 20-s Trillium Compact broadband seismometer or 5-Hz Fairfield nodal geophone for instrument response removal. D. Notes.txt Short description: occasional note file with any additional necessary information 2. Relationship between files: Files within each folder are all related to the site given by the folder name. 3. Additional related data collected that was not included in the current data package: Accessible here: https://doi.org/10.7914/SN/5P_2013 4. Are there multiple versions of the dataset? No -------------------------- METHODOLOGICAL INFORMATION -------------------------- 1. Description of methods used for collection/generation of data: We collected ambient vibration data of 13 arches using seismometers and nodal geophones and deployed them following methods outlined in Moore et al. (2016) and Geimer et al. (2020). We placed the instrument directly onto the arches, usually on the top-middle, except when access was not available, and aligned them to magnetic north. We deployed another seismometer <100 m away from each arch on bedrock to serve as the reference. Moore et al. (2016): "Anthropogenic sources stimulate resonance of a natural rock bridge" doi.org/10.1002/2016GL070088 Geimer et al. (2020): "Sparse Ambient Resonance Measurements Reveal Dynamic Properties of Freestanding Rock Arches" doi.org/10.1029/2020GL087239 2. Methods for processing the data: The vibration data are submitted in the raw form, with amplitudes given in counts representing velocity. The provided pole-zero files to remove the instrument response and are set up to convert the vibration data to m/s. Further processing details are provided in the text of "Ground Motion Amplification at Natural Rock Arches in the Colorado Plateau". 3. Instrument- or software-specific information needed to interpret the data: We used Python packages ObsPy and NumPy to process the data. Pole-zero files for removing instrument response are included in each site's folder. 4. Standards and calibration information, if appropriate: N/A 5. Environmental/experimental conditions: N/A 6. Describe any quality-assurance procedures performed on the data: N/A 7. People involved with sample collection, processing, analysis and/or submission: Riley Finnegan, Jeffrey R. Moore, Paul R. Geimer, Erin K. Bessette-Kirton, and Alex Dzubay carried out field experiments, and Ammon Hatch, Anna Stanczyk, Ashley Russon, Ben White, Brendon Quirk, Clayton Russell, Holly Hurtado, Naveed Aghdassi, and Weston Manygoats provided field assistance. Riley Finnegan, Jeffrey R. Moore, Paul R. Geimer, Erin K. Bessette-Kirton, and Alex Dzubay processed and analyzed the data. Keith Koper and Kris Pankow provided valuable feedback throughout data analysis.
