Title

GPS Time Series For Corbetti and Aluto Volcano, Main Ethiopian Rift, Ethiopia (NERC grant NE/L013932/1)

Abstract

This data set contains daily position solutions for GPS stations deployed on Corbetti and Aluto volcano, Ethiopia. The results for Aluto were originally published in "Seasonal patterns of seismicity and deformation at the Alutu geothermal reservoir, Ethiopia, induced by hydrological loading", Birhanu et. al. (2018). Corbetti results were partially published in "Sustained Uplift at a Continental Rift Caldera", Lloyd et al. (2018).

Quality and validity

Lineage

The raw GPS data were collected using Leica receivers and antennas that were continuously recording data between 2013 and 2017. They were then converted into rinex files and solutions derived with the software suite GAMIT/GLOBK using station HAWA as the reference station. Further details are provided in the ReadMe file associated with this upload.
