In these settings, modern seismic modeling and imaging techniques based on controlled‐source, multicomponent ocean‐bottom seismometer (OBS) data are some of the best tools available for determining the subseafloor elastic properties, which can be linked to the aforementioned properties. Here, we present CASIE21‐OBS, a controlled‐source marine wide‐angle OBS data set recently collected across the Cascadia convergent margin as part of the larger CAscadia Seismic Imaging Experiment 2021 (CASIE21). The main component of CASIE21 is a long‐offset multichannel seismic (MCS) survey of the Cascadia margin conducted in June–July 2021 onboard R/V M.G. Langseth (cruise MGL2104) aiming to characterize the incoming plate, the plate interface geometry and properties, and the overlying sediment stratigraphy and physical properties. CASIE21‐OBS was conducted during R/V M.G. Langseth cruise MGL2103 (May 2021) and R/V Oceanus cruise OC2106A (June–July 2021). It consisted of 63 short‐period four‐component OBSs deployed at a total 120 stations along 10 across‐trench profiles extending from ∼50 km seaward of the deformation front to the continental shelf, and from offshore northern Vancouver Island to offshore southern Oregon. The OBSs recorded the airgun signals of the CASIE21‐MCS survey as well as natural seismicity occurring during the deployment period (24 May 2021 19:00 UTC–9 July 2021 09:00 UTC). The OBS data are archived and available at the Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology Data Management Center under network code YR_2021 for continuous time series (miniSEED) and identifier 21‐008 for assembled data set (SEG‐Y).

AB - The Alaska Amphibious Community Seismic Experiment (AACSE) is a shoreline‐crossing passive‐ and active‐source seismic experiment that took place from May 2018 through August 2019 along an ∼700  km long section of the Aleutian subduction zone spanning Kodiak Island and the Alaska Peninsula. The experiment featured 105 broadband seismometers; 30 were deployed onshore, and 75 were deployed offshore in Ocean Bottom Seismometer (OBS) packages. Additional strong‐motion instruments were also deployed at six onshore seismic sites. Offshore OBS stretched from the outer rise across the trench to the shelf. OBSs in shallow water (<262  m depth) were deployed with a trawl‐resistant shield, and deeper OBSs were unshielded. Additionally, a number of OBS‐mounted strong‐motion instruments, differential and absolute pressure gauges, hydrophones, and temperature and salinity sensors were deployed. OBSs were deployed on two cruises of the R/V Sikuliaq in May and July 2018 and retrieved on two cruises aboard the R/V Sikuliaq and R/V Langseth in August–September 2019. A complementary 398‐instrument nodal seismometer array was deployed on Kodiak Island for four weeks in May–June 2019, and an active‐source seismic survey on the R/V Langseth was arranged in June 2019 to shoot into the AACSE broadband network and the nodes. Additional underway data from cruises include seafloor bathymetry and sub‐bottom profiles, with extra data collected near the rupture zone of the 2018 Mw 7.9 offshore‐Kodiak earthquake. The AACSE network was deployed simultaneously with the EarthScope Transportable Array (TA) in Alaska, effectively densifying and extending the TA offshore in the region of the Alaska Peninsula. AACSE is a community experiment, and all data were made available publicly as soon as feasible in appropriate repositories. VL - 91 UR - https://doi.org/10.1785/0220200189 ER -
