Dataset related to article 'The Collaborative Seismic Earth Model: Generation 2'

This repository holds 23 earthquake simulations conducted using the second generation of the Collaborative Seismic Earth Model (CSEM2, Noe et al., submitted), serving as benchmark simulations for reproducibility. The simulations are performed with the spectral-element wave propagation solver Salvus (Afanasiev et al., 2019) on event-adapted meshes (Thrastarson et al., 2020). Accompanying waveform data from the stations can be downloaded from public FDSN services and accessed via tools such as the ObsPy mass downloader (Krischer et al., 2015). Information about the earthquakes and receivers is provided in the event files. The source-time function, a filtered heaviside for 50 - 160 s, is included in 'stf.h5' for global simulations and for 20 - 160 s for regional simulations, respectively.

The event and waveform information to create Figure 4 in the manuscript are the following:

a) GCMT_event_LAKE_TANGANYIKA_REGION_Mag_6.0_2017-2-24-0.h5, stf 50 - 160 s

b) GCMT_event_CENTRAL_CALIFORNIA_Mag_5.6_2020-6-4-1.h5, stf 20 - 160 s

c) GCMT_event_CHILE-ARGENTINA_BORDER_REGION_Mag_5.7_2018-6-21-16.h5, stf 20 - 160 s

Simulations for b&c are performed on smaller domains and on regular cubed-sphere meshes.
