Continuous seismic waveform data from the UKArray temporary seismic network, between 2015 and 2025

Continuous seismic waveforms from a temporary network of seismometers deployed in the North of England between 2015 and 2025 for the UKArray project. The aim of the project was to establish a robust baseline of background seismicity prior to shale gas exploration in the region. Data were recorded on Guralp CMG3-ESP broadband seismometers and digitised with a sample rate of 100 Hz. Raw data are stored in miniSEED format (https://ds.iris.edu/ds/nodes/dmc/data/formats/miniseed/). Metadata that allows the raw data to be converted to ground motions, as well as the location of the stations are stored in StationXML format (https://docs.fdsn.org/projects/stationxml/en/latest/overview.html). Both raw data and metadata are available from the UK node of the European Integrated Data Archive (https://eida.bgs.ac.uk) using standard FDSN webservices (https://www.fdsn.org/webservices/). Further details about the network are available at https://www.fdsn.org/networks/detail/UR/. The DOI for this data set is https://doi.org/10.7914/SN/UR
