Data and scripts associated with the manuscript "Estimating soil moisture and salinity response to simulated coastal flooding using time-lapse electrical resistivity and induced polarization monitoring”

Abstract

This package contains geophysics datasets generated during the simulated ecosystem-flooding experiment – TEMPEST (Terrestrial Ecosystem Manipulation to Probe the Effects of Storm Treatment). These geophysics data consist of Electrical Resistivity Imaging (ERI) and Induced Polarization (IP) datasets collected to estimate the soil moisture and salinity response to the simulated coastal flooding experiment. In addition to using geophysics datasets to estimate soil moisture and salinity response, petrophysical relationship between the measured resistivity and moisture content and salinity using the multisalinity. This package consists of two folders: “MultiSalinity Experiment” folder and “TEMPEST Experiment and petrophysical conversion” folders. The “MultiSalinity Experiment” folder contains the datasets generated from the multisalinity experiment used to develop the petrophysical reslationship. The “TEMPEST Experiment and petrophysical conversion” folder contains ERI, IP, Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and Electromagnetic Induction (EMI) datasets collected during the TEMPEST experiment. This study shows the ability to used geophysical datasets in estimating moisture content and salinity at scale will be useful in calibrating Earth System Models.
