First report of long term measurements of the MGGL laboratory in the M\'atra mountain range

Matra Gravitational and Geophysical Laboratory (MGGL) has been established near Gy\"ongy\"osoroszi, Hungary in 2015, in the cavern system of an unused ore mine. The Laboratory is located at 88~m below the surface, with the aim to measure and analyse the advantages of the underground installation of third generation gravitational wave detectors. Specialized instruments have been installed to measure seismic, infrasound, electromagnetic noise, and the variation of the cosmic muon flux. In the preliminary (RUN-0) test period, March-August 2016, data collection has been accomplished. In this paper we describe the research potential of the MGGL, list the installed equipments and summarize the experimental results of RUN-0. A novel theoretical framework of noise damping in rock masses is also introduced. Here we report RUN-0 data, that prepares systematic and synchronized data collection of the next run period.
