Popis: We propose a new automated procedure for using continuous seismic waveforms recorded by a dense array and its nearby regional stations for P-wave arrival identification, location, and magnitude estimation of small earthquakes. The method is illustrated with a one-day waveform dataset recorded by a dense array with 99 sensors near Anza, California, and 24 surrounding regional stations within 50 km of the dense array. We search a wide range of epicentral locations and apparent horizontal slowness values (0–15 s/km) in the 15–25 Hz range and time shift the dense array waveforms accordingly. For each location–slowness combination, the average neighboring station waveform similarity (avgCC) of station pairs
