This dataset was collected to obtain constraints on the seismic velocity structure of the crust and upper mantle under Greenland and immediately surrounding areas. The data are continuous, three-component, broadband seismograms recorded at several sampling rates, from six locations on the north and northeast Greenland Ice Sheet, and one location on bedrock on the southeast coast of Greenland. The recording stations operated for a period of approximately two years, from June, 2014 to June, 2016. Station characteristics including frequency response and sensor orientation were validated using a variety of quality-assessment and quality-control procedures. The seismic sensors and data-acquisition systems used during the experiment were borrowed from the pool at the IRIS PASSCAL Instrument Center. The complete dataset is archived in miniSEED/dataless SEED format at the IRIS Data Management Center (see Alternate Identifiers). The seismic network code for the data is XF (2014-2016). The network is also known as "UPPA".
