Description of the main dataset features.
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Time | Timestamp indicating the exact occurrence of the earthquake event, enabling temporal analysis and time-series modeling |
| Latitude | Geographic coordinate specifying the north–south position of the earthquake epicenter |
| Longitude | Geographic coordinate specifying the east–west position of the earthquake epicenter, used together with latitude for spatial mapping and clustering |
| Depth | Depth (in kilometers) at which rupture initiates. It may be referenced relative to the WGS84 geoid, mean sea level, or station elevation averages. Depth significantly influences surface shaking intensity |
| mag | Official magnitude reported for the event. Magnitude quantifies the energy released at the source and is measured using logarithmic scales |
| magType | Method used to calculate magnitude (e.g., Md, Ml, Ms, Mw, Mb, Me, Mi, MLg), depending on waveform characteristics and frequency range |
| Gap | Largest azimuthal gap (in degrees) between adjacent seismic stations. Smaller values generally indicate better reliability of the horizontal location estimate |
| dmin | Horizontal distance from the epicenter to the nearest seismic station (in degrees; km). Smaller values typically improve depth estimation accuracy |
| rms | Root-mean-square (RMS) travel-time residual (in seconds), measuring the discrepancy between observed and predicted wave arrival times. Lower values indicate better model fit |
| id | Unique identifier assigned to each seismic event for traceability within the catalog |
