Description
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.
The catalogue is here in two forms:
- 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 (>10 minutes), and expand in memory to > 8GB.
- 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.
