The hypocentre parameters of shallow-focus earthquakes in the Himalaya-Tibetan Plateau area (1991-2014)- A Big Earth Data Platform for Three Poles

The data set describes the hypocentre parameters of shallow-focus earthquakes that occurred in the Himalayan-Tibetan Plateau area from 1990 to 2014. Accurate seismic focal depth and focal mechanism solutions can provide an elementary scientific basis for deep Earth deformation and seismogenic structure research. The seismic waveform data are from the IRIS website (http://ds.iris.edu/wilber3/find_event). Teleseismic waveform fitting is used in processing data.

The focal depth error is ±3 km.

Earthquake number: earthquake number ID for different areas in chronological order

Origin Time: mm/dd/yyyy (month/day/year), hh:mm (hour/minute)

Earthquake location: longitude, latitude, depth

Earthquake magnitude: moment magnitude (Mw)

Focal mechanism solution: trend / inclination / inclination angle (strike / dip / slip)

Error: the least squares method is used to determine the variance between the theoretical waveform and the observed waveform (misfit)

Moho Depth: Moho
