TYPICAL INFRASOUND SOURCES AND APPLICATIONS

Volcanic Activity: Volcanoes emit powerful pulses of infrasonic energy near the moment of eruption, the acuired data, processed in real-time, give informations about the overpressure and origin site of volcanic activity

Meteor Detector: Meteors generate infrasound weaves during their entry in the Earth's atmosphere

Avalanche Detection: Before an avalanche happens the is an infrasound emission, most likely this comes from deep down movements in the snow

Nuclear Explosion: The nuclear tests, both under the water and under te ground, generate intense infrasonic weaves, it's possible to reveal these explosions

Aircrafts Flying and Missiles Launch: All these events generate infrasound weaves that can be revealed at long distances, giving useful information about them

Hearthquakes, Tornadoes and Fires: They are an intense source of infrasonic waves that cover long distances

TYPICAL INFRASONIC ARRAY CONFIGURATION

Typically an infrasounds network has a "star" configuration, organized in several infrasounds sensor stations, working like "antennas" to provide in real-time the propagation azimuth of the sonic beam. According to the geometry of the array it's possible to resolve the infrasound source position by grid searching algorithm calculating in real-time the cross-correlation between the single stations.
