The dataset contains SEG-Y data of a 2D shear wave survey carried out in the Mont Terri URL, Switzerland. The data were acquired using an ELVIS VII source in SH-mode and 1-C horizontal geophones mounted on a land-streamer. The data publication covers raw data, edited raw data (removal of corrupted records) and preprocessed data (correlation and vertical stacking) stored in SEG-Y format. The survey geometry (source point coordinates, receiver point coordinates, geometry pattern) is included.

The Geophysical Instrument Pool Potsdam (GIPP) provides field instruments for (temporary) seismological studies (both controlled source and earthquake seismology) and for magnetotelluric (electromagnetic) experiments. The GIPP is operated by the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences. The instrument facility is open for academic use. Instrument applications are evaluated and ranked by an external steering board. See Haberland and Ritter (2016) and https://www.gfz.de/gipp for more information.
