Radially anisotropic shear-wave velocity model and associated datasets for the central-southern segment of the Tanlu Fault Zone

Data description

This dataset consists of four parts:

TL_RA_Vs_Model.zip – Shear-wave velocity and radial anisotropy model obtained by Bayesian joint inversion of receiver functions together with Rayleigh- and Love-wave dispersion. The model spans longitudes 115°E–122°E and latitudes 30°N–38°N on a 0.25° grid. Vertically it extends from 0 to 80 km at 1 km intervals. Results shallower than 45 km are considered the most reliable. See the included README for details.

RF.zip – Q-component receiver-function waveforms from 214 stations, provided in SAC format.

Dispersion.zip – Interstation Rayleigh- and Love-wave dispersion measurements among 328 stations. In each dispersion file, column 1 is period, column 2 is phase velocity, and column 4 is a binary flag (0 = unusable, 1 = usable).

Tanlu_CFs.tar.gz - This folder contains stacked ambient-noise cross-correlation functions computed between 328 seismic stations in the central-southern segment of the Tanlu Fault Zone and its surrounding region. The subfolder T-T includes stacked cross-correlations for the transverse (T) component, and the subfolder Z-Z includes stacked cross-correlations for the vertical (Z) component.
