Microseismic monitoring of tailings dams - signal and noise evaluation

The dataset originates from the manuscript titled "Microseismic Monitoring of Tailings Dams: Evaluation of Signal and Noise Sources," currently under submission to Seismica.

The database is organized into four distinct categories, each serving a specific purpose:

Signal: This category comprises common signals, which are likely to be observed at various stations worldwide. It includes data from both blast events and natural seismic occurrences;

Site-specific Signal: These signals are unique to the specific location or a single station. They primarily consist of data obtained from pulse tests conducted at the site;

Noise: Within this category, common noise sources are documented, which are also anticipated to be observed at other stations globally. The noise sources encompass mechanical disturbances such as those from backhoes, drills, excavators, and trucks. Additionally, data related to natural phenomena such as lightning, thunder, and combinations thereof (lightning accompanied by thunder) are also cataloged here;

Site-specific Noise: This category comprises noise sources that are specific to the particular location or a single station. The primary source identified here is digitizer interference.
