GPR data collected near the Chepeta Weather Station and the DUST-1 sampler, Uinta Mountains, Utah

Ground penetrating radar data collected on September 9, 2021 in the Uinta Mountains at the Chepeta Remote Automated Weather Station (RAWS) and the DUST-1 passive dust sampler. Data were collected with a GSSI SIR-4000 control unit and a 350HS antenna connected to an Emlid Reach RS2 GPS receiver. Data files have been distance normalized and field-applied range gains have been removed before being exported in .sgy format. Files were also exported in .kml format for viewing the transect locations in Google Earth.
Two long transects (780 feet each) were collected. The "West" transect passed to the west of the Chepta RAWS; the "East" transect passed to the east. The transects started at different points along the northern lip of the summit upland and came together at a common point at their southern ends. Marks were made in the data file every 60 feet while surveying; these marks were used to distance normalize the results. The system collected 334 scans/second with 512 samples/scan while surveying.
Two 30-foot perpendicular transects were also surveyed (north to south, and west to east) with their intersection adjacent to a soil pit excavated to a depth of 92 cm. The location of the soil pit was noted in each transect with a mark near 16 feet.
Data were used to evaluate spatial variations in the thickness of regolith overlying the bedrock beneath this gently sloping summit flat.
