Seismic Waveforms and Receiver Functions from the Eastern Qilian Shan Dense Array

Cut waveforms and receiver functions from a short-period dense seismic array deployed in the eastern Qilian Shan, NE Tibetan Plateau. The dataset is 904.8 MB in size and was published by Ruizhi Jin on figshare in April 2026 under a CC-BY-4.0 license. It supports research on crustal differential thickening and mechanical decoupling.

Use Cases

• Modeling crustal thickness and velocity structure based on receiver function data.
• Analyzing seismic wave propagation and attenuation in a continental collision zone.
• Investigating tectonic deformation and mechanical coupling from dense array observations.
• Training or validating algorithms for seismic signal processing and feature extraction.

Strengths

• Dataset size of 904.8 MB suggests a substantial volume of seismic recordings.
• Data is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0, permitting reuse and redistribution.
• Specific geographic focus on the eastern Qilian Shan provides targeted tectonic insights.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for some analyses.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
