Abstract

Data was collected for discharge at the HGH cave weir and at the meteorological station, as well as in the soil above the cave. Between 01/02/2024 and 05/08/2024 a time series with 5 minutes interval is provided.

Electrical resistivity tomography data was collected along a profile from the surface to the cave weir. The raw data and the coordinates of the electrodes (2D) are provided in a local coordinate system. For a detailed description of the measurement setup, please refer to the publication Kaminsky et al., 2025. The dataset was created under the funding of Austrian Science Fund (FWF: P36065-N).

Usage Notes

The raw data of the weir (SEBA Logger), soil mesurements (TEROS 12), and meteorological station is provided in the file cave_weir  as .csv and .xlsx. 

The raw data and the coordinates of the ERT electrodes (2D) are provided in a local coordinate system in the folder profile_coord as .txt file.The ERT data is provided for the different monitorings as .tx0 file and can be opened with a text editor. The used instrument was Lippmann 4 point light.
