A total of 14 nodes were deployed within the ~8km diameter caldera; each unit consists of a 3-component Smartsolo sensor (IGU-16HR 3C) recording at 250sps. The units were buried such that their tops were ~10cm below the surface. The nodes were distributed irregularly in the caldera due to access issues; namely, only portions of the caldera are walkable. The dataset provided is in standard miniseed format, and has accompanying dataless files in xml format. The miniseed data is archived in day files under the directories "2023" and "2024", while the xml files are located in the root directory of the distribution. The data is of good quality, with both local earthquakes and teleseisms easily detected. The data were collected for the purposes of tracking microseismic activity associated with the recent reinflation event at Aska, and to help facilitate seismic imaging beneath the caldera using both body and surface wave tomography. The data may be of use to other scientists with an interest in earthquake seismology, imaging, and characterisation of geothermal areas near active volcanoes. The data were collected by the University of Iceland and University of Cambridge, both of who are responsible for interpretation of the data. The archive is complete as it currently stands.
