Supporting Data and Models for Characterizing the February 2023 Kahramanmaraş, Türkiye, Earthquake Sequence

July 26, 2023

This data release pertains to the February 2023 Kahramanmaraş, Türkiye earthquake sequence and complements the following publication:
Goldberg, D.E. et al. (2023) Rapid Characterization of the February 2023 Kahramanmaraş, Türkiye, Earthquake Sequence, The Seismic Record. (xx), 1, doi: 10.1785/0320230009.

Child Items "2023-02-06 Mw7.8 Pazarcık Earthquake Finite Fault Data and Model" and "2023-02-06 Mw7.5 Elbistan Earthquake Finite Fault Data and Model" provide data in the input formats required for the Wavelet and simulated Annealing SliP (WASP) finite-fault inversion code (https://github.com/slipinversion/WASP). This includes broadband seismic data, local strong-motion accelerometer data, high-rate Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) data, GNSS static offsets, and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data used in the finite fault inversion. Figures describing the model output are also included.

Child Item "SAR sub-pixel offsets of February 2023 Kahramanmaraş, Türkiye, Earthquake Sequence" includes SAR sub-pixel offset fields derived from Sentinel-1A image pairs.

The broadband seismic data in this data release are from globally distributed seismometers from networks G (https://doi.org/10.18715/GEOSCOPE.G), GE (https://doi.org/10.14470/TR560404), GT (https://doi.org/10.7914/SN/GT), II (https://doi.org/10.7914/SN/II), IU (https://doi.org/10.7914/SN/IU), and US (https://doi.org/10.7914/SN/US). Strong-motion accelerometer data are from networks KO (https://doi.org/10.7914/SN/KO) and TK (https://doi.org/10.7914/SN/TK). Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data are from the CORS-TR (TUSAGA-Aktif-Türkiye) GNSS network (https://www.tusaga-aktif.gov.tr). Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) observations are from the European Space Agency (https://sentinels.copernicus.eu/web/sentinel/missions/sentinel-1/data-p…).
