The passive seismic data was collected from 20 portable broadband stations deployed in the intersection of the Pamir, the Tarim basin and the Tianshan orogenic belt between October 2019 and July 2020. The waveforms were cut 50 s prior to and 150 s after the P wave arrival. Seismic events were chosen with magnitudes greater than or equal to 6.0 and epicentral distance range of 30-95°. The data can be used in seismic tomography，shear wave splitting and receiver function technique to obtain the high-resolution crustal and upper mantle velocity structure, the depths of typical discontinuities and the anisotropic characteristics, provide vital constraints on elucidating the intracontinental deformation mechanism in response to India-Asia collision.

File naming and required software

The waveform data is in miniseed format and the file is named YYYY.DDD.HH.MM.SS.station.comp.mseed, where YYYY.DDD.HH.MM.SS is the start time of the waveform, station is the station name and comp can be E(east-west component), N(north-south component), and Z(vertical component). The data can be read and written by Seismic Handler, Obspy, as well as other softwares.
