During 2003, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) collected and
processed Magnetotelluric (MT) and Audio-magnetotelluric (AMT)
data at the Nevada Test Site in and near Yucca Flat to help
characterize this pre-Tertiary geology. That work will help to
define the character, thickness, and lateral extent of
pre-Tertiary confining units. In particular, a major goal has
been to define the upper clastic confining unit (UCCU) in the
Yucca Flat area. Interpretation will include a three-dimensional
(3-D) character analysis and two-dimensional (2-D) resistivity
model. The purpose of this report is to release the MT sounding
data for Frenchman Flat Profile 3, as shown in Figure 1. No
interpretation of the data is included here.
