Bidirectional infrasonic ducts associated with sudden stratospheric warming events

In January 2011, the state of the polar vortex in the midlatitudes changed significantly due to a minor sudden stratospheric warming event. As a result, a bidirectional duct for infrasound propagation developed in the middle atmosphere that persisted for 2 weeks. The ducts were due to two zonal wind jets, one between 30 and 50 km and the other...

Remote hydroacoustic sensing of large icebergs in the southern Indian Ocean: Implications for iceberg monitoring

Hydroacoustic signals generated by drifting icebergs that crack, disintegrate, and collide were identified on two hydrophone arrays in the Indian Ocean. These hydrophone arrays are deployed in the Sound Fixing and Ranging channel, enabling the detection of small sources over ranges of several thousand kilometers due to the low attenuation....
