European Alps Receiver Function Database

<p>This dataset contains the receiver function traces calculated using&nbsp;seismic waveform data from the <a href="http://www.alparray.ethz.ch/en/home/">AlpArray Seismic Network</a>,&nbsp;three other temporary seismic networks, and permanent stations in the broader European Alpine region. We use this dataset to compile a new Moho depth map for the broader European Alps.</p> <p>In particular, we include:</p> <ol> <li>all the downloaded seismic waveform data (ZNE components; 120s before and after the theoretical P-wave arrival) prior to RF calculation apart from those from the PACASE seismic network that are under embargo.</li> <li>the radial receiver function traces in .SAC format (RRF.zip). One SAC trace per station and teleseismic earthquake.</li> <li>the&nbsp;transverse&nbsp;(TRF.zip) traces in .SAC format.&nbsp;</li> <li>the receiver function stacks from all the seismic stations plotted versus back-azimuth in .png format&nbsp;(RRF_plots.zip and TRF_plots.zip)</li> <li>moho_depth_picks.csv that contains the moho depth picks information shown in the main article Figure 8a.&nbsp;</li> <li>a CSV file with details of the teleseismic earthquakes.</li> <li>a list of all the seismic stations used here.&nbsp;</li> </ol> <p>For details on how to read and process the receiver function traces have a look at the README file of the repository.</p> <p>For more details on this dataset, have a look at our <a href="https://essd.copernicus.org/preprints/essd-2022-397/">manuscript</a> entitled &ldquo;Moho depths beneath the European Alps: a homogeneously processed map and receiver functions database&rdquo;&nbsp;in Earth System Science Data (ESSD) journal and our <a href="https://github.com/kemichai/rfmpy">GitHub repository</a>.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
