Earthquake Catalogue for: Illuminating the pre-, co-, and post-seismic phases of the 2016 M7.8 Kaikoura earthquake with 10 years of seismicity

<p><strong>0.2: Correction</strong></p> <p>This version corrects the original dataset which had some incorrect focal mechanisms. These mechanisms had incorrect rakes as a result of an error in the uncertainty calculation algorithm. The remainder of the catalogue is unchanged.</p> <p><strong>Code:</strong></p> <p>If you are looking for the code used for this project this is here: <a href="https://zenodo.org/record/5047794#.Y22Mvn5By-Y">https://zenodo.org/record/5047794#.Y22Mvn5By-Y</a> - the link in the paper appears to be wrong as of 11/11/2022.</p> <p><strong>Description</strong></p> <p>Earthquake catalogue generated around the rupture area of the 2016 M7.8 Kaikoura earthquake. For a full description see the associated paper submitted to JGR 2021.</p> <p>The catalogue is here in two forms:</p> <ol> <li>A QuakeML file with all picks, magnitudes, and locations included. This is quite a large file. When reading using ObsPy this will take a long time to read (&gt;10 minutes), and expand in memory to &gt; 8GB.</li> <li>A CSV file with the preferred origin and magnitude information for all events. Relocated events can be identified because they have a station count of 0: GrowClust does not return the number of stations used, whereas NonLinLoc (used for absolute locations) does.</li> </ol>
