      <abstract>This data set consists of 19 wideband magnetotelluric (MT) and 23 transient electromagnetic (TEM) soundings collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in June 2020 as part of the Umatilla Indian Reservation Geothermal Resources Assessment: Phase 2 project. Each MT station had 4 components, 2 orthogonal magnetic induction coils and 2 horizontal orthogonal electric dipoles.  Data were collected for an average of 18 hours on a repeating schedule of alternating sampling rates of 256 samples/second for 5 hours and 50 minutes and 4096 samples/second for 10 minutes.  The schedules were set such that each station was recording the same schedule to allow for remote reference processing.  Data were processed with a bounded-influence robust remote reference processing scheme (BIRRP v5.2.1, Chave and Thomson, 2004).  Data quality were generally poor due to episodic spikes in the electromagnetic fields likely caused by the power grid.  TEM data were collected in 100 x 100 m loops or 40 x 40 m loops along 4 profiles in areas of interest for geothermal potential.  Files included in this publication include measured electric- and magnetic-field time series for MT data, and TEM soundings and 1-D resistivity models.</abstract>
      <purpose>The purpose of this data release is provide MT and TEM station locations, time-series data, and processed MT transfer functions to the public.</purpose>
      <supplinf>This data product contains magnetotelluric (MT) transfer functions (TFs), which define the frequency dependent linear relations between components of electromagnetic (EM) field variations measured at a single site. Two types of TF are provided for most sites, impedance data relating horizontal electric and magnetic fields and tipper data, relating vertical and horizontal magnetic fields. All of the TFs provide input data for subsequent MT inversion and interpretation. They are estimated from the raw EM time series by (a) Fourier transforming data in a series of short overlapping time windows, and (b) applying robust regression methods to calculate TFs from the resulting spectral field estimates. For remote reference processing, data from one or more synchronously recording sites are used for more effective signal/noise separation. The supplied TFs are calculated for a range of periods (which may vary, depending on instrumentation and deployment time), as well as estimation error variances.

        <horizpar>Spatial locations were determined from hand-held global positioning system (GPS) devices. In general, the GPS units used by field scientists recorded sample locations to within 100 feet (30 meters) of the true location. The locations were verified using a geographic information system (GIS) and digital topographic maps.</horizpar>

      <vertacc>
        <vertaccr>Elevations were determined from USGS, The National Map, Bulk Point Query Service based on the USGS 3DEP (3D elevation program) 1/3 arc-second layer (10-meter). Vertical accuracy was not assessed for this specific dataset. The overall absolute vertical accuracy of the seamless DEMs within the conterminous United States (2013), expressed as the root mean square error (RMSE) of 25,310 reference points, was 1.55 meters (USGS, 2014 - http://dx.doi.org/10.3133/ofr20141008). The vertical accuracy varies across the U.S. as a result of differences in source DEM quality, terrain relief, land cover, and other factors.

        <procdesc>Time-series electric and magnetic field data were collected in a geomagnetic north and east coordinate system using wideband magnetotelluric instrumentation at each site location. These data are provided in HDf5 format (*.h5 files). More information about instrumentation and file formats can be found in the PDF Guide_to_MT_Data_types, available at https://doi.org/10.5066/F7610XTR and MTH5 available at https://mth5.readthedocs.io/en/latest/.</procdesc>

        <procdesc>Fourier spectra were calculated from windowed time-series data and used to calculate cross- and auto-power spectra. Remote reference processing, in which synchronously recording stations are processed together to remove incoherent noise, was carried out using all possible station combinations. Impedance and tipper transfer functions were calculated at each station. System and sensor responses were accounted for during this process and transfer function estimates were made for particular frequency bandwidths for each data run. Processing software used can be found in the *.edi and file header information. These files are described in detail within the PDF Guide_to_MT_Data_Types, available at https://doi.org/10.5066/F7610XTR.</procdesc>

      <procstep>
        <procdesc>Transfer function estimates were constructed by selecting optimal transfer function estimates at each period from a series of processing runs using different reference combinations. High and low sampling rate wideband recordings provided transfer function estimates for 1000-1 Hz and 0.001-1 Hz, respectively. So-called optimal transfer functions were selected based on examination of phase slope, smooth curve assumptions, and operator discretion. Transfer function estimates provided in the *.edi files and displayed in the *.png files have been rotated to geographic coordinates (X = North). Additional metadata information can be found in the *.edi file headers as well as the provided *.h5 files.
