This dataset provides Rapid Science Orbits (RSO) from the Low Earth Orbiter (LEO) satellite CHAMP. It is part of the compilation of GFZ RSO products for various LEO missions and the appropriate GNSS constellation in sp3 format. The individual solutions for each satellite mission are published with individual DOI as part of the compilation (Schreiner et al., 2022). • The CHAMP RSO cover the period from 2000 202 to 2010 247 The LEO RSOs in version 1 are generated based on the 24-hour GPS RSOs in two pieces for the actual day with arc lengths of 14 hours and overlaps of 2 hours. One starting at 22:00 and ending at 12:00, one starting at 10:00 and ending at 24:00. For day overlapping arcs two 24h GNSS constellations are concatenated. The accuracy of the LEO RSOs is at the level of 1-2 cm in terms of SLR validation. Each solution in version 1 is given in the Conventional Terrestrial Reference System (CTS) based on the IERS 2003 conventions and related to the ITRF-2008 reference frame. The exact time covered by an arc is defined in the header of the files and indicated as well as in the filename.

We are providing the geophysical data used to develop a gravity validated 3D lithospheric configuration of the Caribbean and north South American plates. The sources of these data are described in Section 4 of this README. Republication of subsets of these data are with permission of the authors or allowed by the licences of the input data. This data repository contains the lithospheric layers of the gravity validated 3D structural and density model of the Caribbean and north South American plates. In this model, the integration of different publicly available geophysical datasets was made, after an interpolation to a homogeneous spatial resolution of 25 km was performed. The data repository also contains the average density of the crystalline crust obtained after forward modelling the gravity anomalies. Additionally, the rotation files of the GPlates reconstructions of the Caribbean Large Igneous Plateau (CLIP) back to 90 Ma are included. This kinematic analysis was based on different reconstructions previously published by other authors. Further information and citations are given on the README file associated to this data repository.

As a supplement to Huang et al. (2022) “The influence of sediments, lithosphere and upper mantle (anelastic) with lateral heterogeneity on ocean tide loading and ocean tide dynamics”, we provide for the advanced earth model LH-Lyon-3Dae [consisting of 3D elastic sediments, lithosphere and 3D anelastic upper mantle structures, see Huang et al.(2022) for details] the solutions of vertical ocean tide loading (OTL) displacement, self-attraction and loading (SAL) elevation, and ocean tides. Solutions for three tidal constituents, i.e., M2, K1 and Mf, are given. As a comparison, solutions based on the 1D elastic model PREM and the 1D anelastic LH-Lyon-1Dae are also presented. With these solutions, the primary results in Huang et al. (2022) such as the model amplitude differences, RMS differences and the predictions in GNSS stations can be reconstructed.

This data publication contains vertical seismic profiling (VSP) data collected at the Groß Schönebeck site, Germany, from February 15-18, 2017. Energy excitation was performed with vibrator sources. Data was acquired in the two4.3 km deep wells E GrSk3/90 and Gt GrSk4/05 (in the following referred to as GrSk3 and GrSk4) using hybrid wireline fiber-optic sensor cables and distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) technology. In total, data for 61 source positions (VP1-VP76) distributed in a spiral-shaped pattern with offsets between 180 m and 2000 m from the wellheads was collected. The data publication covers selected common source gathers for a zero-offset position and representative examples for three intermediate-and far-offset positions, in the form of full waveform data stored in SEG-Yformat. Both uncorrelated raw data and data for different processing stages described in Henninges et al. (2021)are given. Moreover, the survey geometry data (well trajectories and source point coordinates), the pilot sweep data, records of a conventional three-component borehole geophone, and processing results for the VP10 zero-offset position (vertical one-way travel times, interval velocities, corridor stacks) are included. Further information on the survey design and data acquisition, the overall characteristics of the acquired data, and the zero-offset data processing and evaluation for the VP10 source position are described in Henninges et al. (2021)

The Anillo is a dense temporary seismic and geodetic network extending approximately 200 km along the strike of the subduction zone in North Chile in order to investigate how earthquakes and aseismic slip scale over a broader spectrum of source sizes, to understand the complex relationships between seismic and aseismic deformation, and to identify possible structural controls. This experiment is embedded into a larger scale experimental effort carried out by institutions in Germany and Chile. Waveform data are available from the GEOFON data centre, under network code Y6.

The data set contains hydrological, meteorological and gravity time series collected at Argentine-German Geodetic Observatory (AGGO) in La Plata, Argentina. The hydrological series include soil moisture, temperature, electric conductivity, soil parameters, and groundwater variation. The meteorological time series comprise air temperature, humidity, pressure, wind speed, solar short- and long-waver radiation, and precipitation. The observed hydrometeorological parameters are extended by modelled value of evapotranspiration and water content variation in the zone between deepest soil moisture sensor and the groundwater level. Gravity products include large-scale hydrological, oceanic as well as atmospheric effects. These gravity effects are furthermore extended by local hydrological effects and gravity residuals suitable for comparison and evaluation of the model performance. Provided are directly observed values denoted as Level 1 product along with pre-processed series corrected for known issues (Level 2). Level 3 products are model outputs acquired using Level 2 data. The maximal temporal coverage of the data set ranges from May 2016 up to November 2018 with some exceptions for sensors and models set up in May 2017. The data set is organized in a database structure suitable for implementation in a relational database management system. All definitions and data tables are provided in separate text files allowing for traditional use without database installation.

Data of the "density-driven dissolution of CO2 in karst water" column experiment. A laboratory column was filled with tapwater (water level 5,55 m) and exposed it to an elevated gaseous CO2-concentration, roughly 50 times the current atmospheric concentration (20000 +/- 5000 ppm). After stripping the water with ambient air, it was initially in equilibrium with atmospheric conditions. Then, the concentration of dissolved CO2 was measured over a time period of 60 days in two different depths in the column. Measuring points are in the column air, 1 m below water level and 0,15 m above ground. CO2-air concentration was provided using an air-membrane pump (KNF N86 KTE) and a 100 l TEDLAR bag (for more detailed information look into the related publication Class 2021 et al.)

This dataset provides friction data from ring-shear tests (RST) on an iron powder – quartz sand mixture (weight ratio 1:3). This material is used in particular as marker material in analogue experiments that are monitored with CT-scanners in the Tectonic Laboratory (TecLab) at Utrecht University (NL) (Pueyo et al., 2017; 2018). The material has been characterized by means of internal friction coefficients µ and cohesions C as a remote service by the Helmholtz Laboratory for Tectonic Modelling (HelTec) at the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences in Potsdam in the framework of the EPOS (European Plate Observing System) Transnational Access (TNA) call of the Thematic Core Service (TCS) Multi-scale Laboratories (MSL) in 2017. According to our analysis the material behaves as a Mohr-Coulomb material characterized by a linear failure envelope. Peak, dynamic and reactivation friction coefficients are µP = 0.65, µD = 0.53, and µR = 0.62, respectively. Cohesions C are in the range of 70 to 100 Pa. A minor rate-weakening of ~3% per ten-fold change in shear velocity v is evident.
