Introduction
This auxiliary material contains figures and table for the article “Upper crustal partial melt imaged using magnetotellurics at Tendaho graben (Afar), Ethiopia”.
Figures:
1.
fs01.eps: Rose diagram of geoelectric strike angle determined using azimuth of main axis of phase tensors for all sites and the whole period range (0.003 s to 1000 s) (with a 90º ambiguity). It indicates a strike direction of N155°E which is consistent with regional geologic strike of Tendaho graben.
2.
fs02.pdf (Figure 2 & Figure 3): Fit of data and model response from the joint 2D inversion of TE and TM modes of apparent resistivity ρa in (Ωm) and phase ϕ in (°) of MT sites along the Profile. The blue curves show the response of the TE and TM inversion model. The dots are original TE and TM data points.
3.
fs03.eps: Preferred 2D resistivity model obtained by inversion of TM mode data for the MT profile with a RMS misfit of 1.7. Hot (red) color is low resistivity. Blue color is high resistivity. Inverted triangles on top of the model are MT station locations.
4.
fs04.eps (Figure 3): Total Magnetic Field map of Tendaho geothermal field showing possible inferred faults which coincide with up-doming low resistivity structure observed at depth 2 km in the 2D MT model under sites102, 110 and 109. White circles= Geothermal well, black dots=MT sites
