Moho depth and VP / VS in Cathaysia Block- A Big Earth Data Platform for Three Poles

The data set is mainly shown in the article https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pepi.2019.04.003 The study includes the distribution of the average thickness of the crust and the average velocity ratio of the crust obtained by stacking the P-wave receiver function h-kappa-c of stations in Cathaysia Block.

The dataset contains one file in DAT format: Cathaysia_ moho_ vpvs.dat。

The data set can be used to show the undulation characteristics of Moho in the Cathaysia Block, to see the transverse distribution characteristics of crustal thickness and crustal wave velocity ratio in the Cathaysia Block, and to explore the difference of average crustal composition in the Cathaysia Block.

File naming and required software

Data naming: average crustal thickness and Vp/Vs are stored in text format, and the file name is "Cathaysia_moho_vpvs.dat”。
Data reading mode: all ASCII files in the data set can be directly opened by using the text editing software. The main contents: the first column station name, the second column crustal thickness (km), the third column VP / VS, the fourth column crustal thickness estimation error, and the fifth column Vp/Vs error.
