This data repository contains the following files and subdirectories:

model
- Layerwise .grd files for vp, vp/vs & vs models between -4km and 79km depth

resolution
- grid masks indicating the resolved parts of the model space
- "P" in the filename refers to the "vp" model, "PS" refers to the "vp/vs" and "vs" model
- grid masks are given for the discrete depths of 0, 10, 18, 28, 40, 55 and 70km, i.e. the grid at 18km is valid for the depth range of 14-23km

events
- events.txt
- Event catalog of 2553 events upon which the velocity inversion is based

stations
- station_list.csv
- stations_renamed.txt

picks
- EQKS
- SIMUL EQKS file of the single inversion run with the lowest misfit
- note that hypocentral parameters in this file do exactly match the ones given in the final event catalog, because the event catalog is an average over the best 20 individual runs
- absolute arrial times given by the event origin time plus the travel time to each station are accurate, though
