Precise, NLL-SSST-coherence earthquake relocations for the 2023 Mw7.8 and Mw7.6, Kahramanmaraş-Gaziantep, Turkey earthquake sequence (including 2020 Mw 6.8 Elazığ, Turkey sequence). Seismic arrival data from https://afad.gov.tr. Details & catalog available at: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7699881
NLL-SSST-coherence (https://doi.org/10.1029/2021JB023190) is an enhanced, absolute-timing earthquake location procedure which 1) iteratively generates spatially varying travel-time corrections to improve multi-scale precision and 2) uses waveform similarity to improve fine-scale precision.
