S54B:
Infrasound from Ground to Space II


Session ID#: 10225

Session Description:
Infrasound has emerged as an interdisciplinary field, with applications in atmospheric science, hazard monitoring, and characterization of source physics. These advances are being driven by improvements in propagation modeling, improved source location methods, and progress in specifying the 4-D state of the atmosphere, including better characterizations of atmospheric gravity waves. Low-cost sensors enable "large N" array deployments for full waveform resolution, UAV and balloon borne stations capture the three dimensional wave-field of acoustic radiation, non-traditional instrumentation such as fiber optics and air-to-ground coupling to seismometers push beyond the limitations of differential pressure transducers, and remote sensing of acoustic waves impinging on the ionosphere bypasses traditional acoustic networks entirely. Furthermore, large data sets from the Infrasound Monitoring System and USArray serve to enhance our understanding of infrasound on a global scale.  We welcome submissions on all aspects of infrasound, including but not limited to sensors, propagation modeling, and source characterization.
