Satellite data of the 2018 Sierra Negra eruption in the Galápagos islands

The 2018 eruption of Sierra Negra volcano, Galápagos, Ecuador has provided new insights into the mechanisms of caldera resurgence, subsidence, and fissuring at basaltic shield volcanoes. Here, we integrate local (~0.4 km) seismo-acoustic records and regional (~85 km) infrasound array data to present new observations of the 2018 Sierra Negra eruption with improved time and spatial resolutions. These observations include: air-to-ground coupling ~2 hours before the time of the eruption onset, migration of the infrasound tremor from 22:54 June 26 to 12:31 June 27 UT (all times in UT), and persistent infrasound detections during the weeks between 5 July and 18 August from an area that does not coincide with the previously documented eruptive fissures. We interpret air-to-ground coupling as infrasound tremor generated in the nearby fissures before the main eruptive phase started, although ambiguity remains in interpreting a single seismic-infrasonic sensor pair.

We store visual and multi-band satellite data used to show thermal anomalies during the 2018 eruption of Sierra Negra (Galapagos). 

## Description of the data and file structure

The dataset consist of twelve geo-referenced tif files that capture the region where the 2018 eruption of Sierra Negra took place. There is a mix of visual and multi-band satellite imagery. We only use the visual and near-infrared bands in our manuscript. Each tif file is store inside a folder name after the date the image was capture by the satellite.   Coordinates shown in the metadata of the tif files are projected in the UTM system zone 15 South and geodetic reference frame WGS84.
