Abstract:
A broadband ocean-bottom seismometer equipped with a hydrophone and temperature logger was deployed on a seabed terrace beside upper Monterey Canyon, offshore California, USA, from November 2024 to April 2025. The instrument was deployed and recovered aboard R/V Rachel Carson as part of the SeismoSands project. This dataset contains waveform records covering three turbidity currents detected on 14 December 2024, 25 February 2025 and 2 April 2025. The waveform data are provided in MiniSEED format and contain three-component seismic and hydrophone recordings sampled at 250 Hz and stored as raw digital counts. All timestamps are in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). A station metadata table provides the station coordinates, water depth, deployment period and instrument information. The MiniSEED files can be read using ObsPy and other software supporting the MiniSEED format.
