Receiver Functions from Qilian Shan Dense Seismic Arrays

Qilian Shan region seismic data supporting crustal structure analysis. The dataset comprises receiver functions derived from short-period dense seismic arrays, authored by Long Chen and published under CC-BY-4.0 license. It was last updated on May 13, 2026, and is distributed as a 139.9 MB ZIP file.

Use Cases

• Modeling crustal thickness and composition based on receiver function analysis.
• Investigating the tectonic uplift mechanisms of the Qilian Shan orogen.
• Studying the northward expansion of the Tibetan Plateau using seismic imaging.
• Calibrating regional seismic velocity models with receiver function data.

Strengths

• Dataset is 139.9 MB, indicating a medium-scale data volume.
• Explicitly linked to a peer-reviewed scientific paper on crustal structure.
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

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