The dataset presented here is an earthquake catalog for the central Sea of Marmara (Turkey) obtained by applying a traditional STA/LTA technique to the continuous waveforms. The magnitude of completeness of this catalog is MW = 1.4. The full description of the data processing and creation of the catalog is provided in the paper “Near - fault monitoring reveals combined seismic and slow activation of a fault branch within the Istanbul-Marmara seismic gap in NW Turkey” published by Martínez-Garzón et al., in Seismological Research Letters.
The data are provided as the following two ASCII tables:
The file 2021-004_Martinez-Garcon-et-al_Initial_seismicity_catalog contains the seismic events for which we could successfully calculate an earthquake location. The ASCII table has the following columns: columns: id, year, month, day, hour, minute, second, serial time, latitude, longitude, depth [km], magnitude, horizontal error [km], vertical error [km], RMS, maximum azimuthal gap [degree].
The table 2021-004_Martinez-Garcon-et-al_Relocated_seismicity_catalog contains the seismic events for which we could refine the initial location and obtain a double-difference refined location. The ASCII table has the following columns: id, latitude, longitude, depth [km], horizontal error [km], vertical error [km].
The dataset presented here is an enhanced earthquake catalog for the northern Armutlu Peninsula (northwestern Turkey) constructed by matched-filter search in EQcorrscan (Chamberlain et al., 2018) on continuous daily waveforms. The enhanced catalog is constructed using template events from the STA/LTA relocated catalog of Martínez-Garzón et al. (2022, https://doi.org/10.5880/GFZ.4.2.2021.004).
It is built using waveforms and phase arrivals from up to 30 stations of the SMARTnet temporary seismic network, two stations of the GONAF borehole permanent network, and three stations of the KOERI permanent network for channels that contain data for at least the 80% of the day. The magnitudes of the new detections are calculated by relative amplitude difference with the respective template. The magnitude of completeness of this catalog is Mw = 0.8. The catalog spans the time period from 25 January 2019 to 07 February 2020.

(2022).
The dataset consists of two files:
(1) “enhanced_catalog_absolute_locations.csv” that contains 7,677 seismic events (templates and new detections) for which we could successfully calculate an earthquake location; and
(2) “enhanced_catalog_relocated.csv” that contains 4,128 seismic events for which we could refine the initial location and obtain a double-difference refined location.
