NLL-SSST-coherence high-precision earthquake location catalog for the 2025 Santorini-Amorgos earthquake swarm

Hypocenter catalog files and visualization of high-precision, NLL-SSST-coherence earthquake locations for the 2025 Santorini-Amorgos Greece earthquake swarm and background seismicity 2024-01-01 to 2025-03-23).

NLL-SSST-coherence (Lomax and Savvaidis, 2022; Lomax and Henry, 2023; Lomax et al., 2024) is an enhanced, absolute-timing earthquake location procedure which 1) iteratively generates spatially varying travel-time corrections to improve multi-scale location precision and 2) uses waveform similarity to improve fine-scale location precision.

Relocations performed with phase arrival data available from Institute of Geodynamics of the National Observatory of Athens (NOA-IG)

The initial seismic velocity model is a smoothed combination of two velocity models:
