Shear-wave splitting measurements for a 10-year catalogue in Taupō volcano

<p>The dataset provided includes&nbsp;seismic anisotropy results using a&nbsp;10-year catalogue&nbsp;around Taupō volcano (January 2010 &nbsp;to December&nbsp;2019).&nbsp;For the seismic anisotropy measurements, we used seismic data from 23 stations managed by GeoNet.&nbsp;The earthquake catalogue for this dataset was determined by Illsley-Kemp et al. (2021) using matched-filtered earthquake detection (Chamberlain &amp; Townend,&nbsp;2018).&nbsp;The earthquake templates for the matched-filtered detection were obtained from the GeoNet catalogue with revised manual picks.&nbsp;</p> <p>In case you use this data, please cite the following publications:</p> <p>Bakkar, H.
