A comprehensive suite of earthquake catalogues for the 2016-2017 Central Italy seismic sequence

A set of six large catalogues documenting the seismic sequence that occurred in central Italy between 2016 and 2017, characterized by a cascade of four MW5.5–6.5 events. The earthquake catalogues possess different levels of resolution and completeness that result from progressive enhancements in both detection sensitivity and hypocentral location determination. These quality differences reflect the subsequent application of advanced methods.

Statement: The presented catalogues were retrieved by using different location methods: the IpoP code (internal linearized method) (CAT0), the NonLinLoc code (CAT1, CAT3) and the double-difference technique (with or without the use of cross-correlation measurements) (CAT2, CAT4 and CAT5). CAT0, CAT1 and CAT2 are based on the dataset of P- and S-waves picks revised in nearly real-time in the INGV seismic monitoring room, while CAT3 and CAT4 are based on the dataset of Spallarossa et al. (2020) , composed of P- and S-picks and maximum amplitudes, automatically estimated using the Complete Automatic Seismic Processor (CASP) combined with the RSNI-Picker2. CAT5' dataset derives from the PhaseNet picker, used for detecting earthquakes and measuring P- and S-waves arrival times, associated to individual events with REAL package.
