QTM Catalog For Ridgecrest Sequence
This catalog accompanies the paper
Ross et.al (2019) “Hierarchical interlocked orthogonal faulting in the 2019 Ridgecrest earthquake sequence”, Science, doi: 10.1126/science.aaz0109
The columns are in GrowClust format:
- yr, mon, day, hr, min, sec: relocated origin time (columns 1–6)
- eID: event ID (column 7)
- latR, lonR, depR: relocated latitude, longitude and depth (decimal degrees and km; columns 8–10)
- mag event magnitude (column 11)
- qID, cID, nbranch: event serial ID number, cluster serial ID number, total number of events in this cluster (columns 12–14)
- qnpair, qndiffP, qndiffS: number of event pairs, P-phase differential times, and S-phase differential times used to relocate this event (columns 15–17)
- rmsP, rmsS: RMS residual differential times for this event for P- and S-phases (s; columns 18–19)
- eh, ez, et: estimated location errors in horizontal (km), vertical (km), and origin time (s; columns 20–22)
- latC, lonC, depC: initial (catalog) latitude, longitude and depth (decimal degrees and km; columns 23–25)
Successfully relocated solutions are indicated by column 14 > 1.
Note: the mainshock Mw 7.1 depth is poorly constrained in this catalog. We recommend using the SCSN hypocenter instead:

If you use this catalog in your work, we ask that you cite the Science paper. Please also acknowledge the DOIs for SCSN and SCEDC as described below.
