Seismic Spectrograms and Q-Values of Traffic Signals, and HVSR Results from Ambient Noise at a Seismic Station in the Taklimakan Desert

This dataset is based on the temporary broadband seismic array (TASTE), deployed in the Tarim Basin and operated from July 2017 to October 2019 by the Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences (Zuo et al., 2022). It contains time-frequency spectrograms, calculated Q-values, and HVSR results for three seismic stations: T12, T23, and T52. Station T12, located 60 meters along the Tazhong Highway, recorded numerous vehicle signals. We selected symmetric, bell-shaped vehicle signals generated by the same type of vehicle traveling at constant speed. Each signal's time-frequency spectrogram is stored in the 'Spectrogram' folder, with file names containing the record time of each vehicle signal. The dataset consists of 350-second time segments with a frequency range from 0.8 to 45 Hz. The Q-value is inverted using these signals, and for stability, we stacked every 100 individual results, which are stored in the 'Q-values' folder. The HVSR variations over time were calculated from continuous seismic recordings and are stored in the 'HVSR' folder. For station T52, located 100 meters away from the Tazhong road, the dataset is stored similarly to T12, though the operation period is from November 2018 to October 2019. For station T23, located 200 meters away from the Hotan road, the vehicle signals were influenced by other sources such as wind, making it difficult to invert the Q-value using vehicle signals. Therefore, the dataset for T23 only contains HVSR results from July 2017 to October 2019.
