Cascadia Subduction Zone Fault Heterogeneities from Newly Detected Small Earthquakes - Datasets

Datasets associated with manuscript "Cascadia Subduction Zone Fault Heterogeneities from Newly Detected Small Earthquakes" by Morton et al. (2023), submitted to the Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth. Three datasets are present in this upload:

ds01.xlsx: Catalog of 5,282 detected earthquakes along the Cascadia subduction margin, ordered by time. Events were located using Hypoinverse (Klein, 2002). Columns of the catalog are: Cascadia Initiative deployment year, Origin Time String (YYYYMMDDhhmmss), Origin Time (Year, Month, Day, Hour, Minute, Second), Latitude, Longitude, Event Depth (km), Duration Magnitude (Md), Number of P  and S arrival picks with weights > 0.1, Maximum Azimuthal Gap (deg.), Distance to the Nearest Station (km), Travel Time Residual RMS (s), Horizontal Location Error (ERH; km), Vertical Location Error (ERZ; km), Focal Mechanism if applicable (Strike, Dip, Rake; deg.), Plate Designation (Slab, Interface, or Upper Plate), and Previous Existence in Regional Catalogs. Duration magnitudes that could not be constrained are listed as -9. Detected earthquakes that had previously been reported in other catalogs are listed as "Catalog" or "Stone" form the regional or Stone et al. (2018) catalogs, respectively; Those used as template events are marked as "T" or "ST", for those from regional catalogs or the Stone et al. (2018) catalog, respectively, in the last column.

ds02.xlsx: Table of earthquakes chosen as template events for subspace scanning from regional (NEIC, ANF, PNSN, CNDC) and Stone et al. (2018) catalogs. Columns of the template event table are: Catalog Source (T for regional, ST for Stone et al. 2018), Cascadia Initiative (CI) Deployment Year, Template Cluster ID, Date, Time (UTC), Catalog Location (Latitude, Longitude, Depth), Catalog Magnitude, and Whether the Template Event was Detected. Some of the templates were detected but were not included in the final catalog because the travel time residual RMS was greater than 1s and are noted in the table as "poorly located".

ds03.xlsx: Table of seismic stations used in subspace detection scanning, identified by the CI deployment year, Template Cluster ID, Station SEED, and Network Codes. Stations are listed with the corresponding high-pass (HP) or band-pass (BP) filter applied before scanning to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio.
