Seismic Phase Arrival Times of the 2015-2017 Pamir Earthquake Sequence

Description: A sequence of three strong (MW 7.2–6.4) and several moderate (MW 4.4–5.7) earthquakes struck the Pamir Plateau and surrounding mountain ranges of Tajikistan, China, and Kyrgyzstan in 2015–2017. With a local seismic network in operation in the Xinjiang province of China since August 2015 (FDSN code 8H; Yuan et al., 2018a), an aftershock network on the Pamir Plateau of Tajikistan since February 2016 (FDSN code 9H; Yuan et al., 2018b), and additional permanent regional seismic stations (FDSN code TJ; PMP International, 2005; XJ network; SEISDMC, 2021), we were able to record the succession of the fore-, main-, and aftershock sequences at local distances with good azimuthal coverage. We here provide P and S body wave arrival times of the 11,784 relocated seismic events and additional arrival times of 18,011 seismic events that could not be located with precision. The ASCII QuakeML files (.xml; https://quake.ethz.ch/quakeml/QuakeML) consist of seismic arrival times, station and network codes, nominal arrival time uncertainties, localization residuals, and corresponding preliminary event locations. The ASCII NonLinLoc Hypocenter-Phase files (.hyp; http://alomax.free.fr/nlloc/ -> Formats -> NLLoc Hypocenter-Phase file) consist of seismic arrival times, station codes, nominal arrival time uncertainties, localization residuals, ray take-off angles and corresponding preliminary event locations.
