Predicting Atmospheric Effective Sound Speed Using Synthetic Infrasound and Machine Learning
Abstract We introduce a machine learning (ML) model that reconstructs atmospheric conditions at the location of an explosive source using regionally recorded synthetic infrasound. A convolutional neural network (CNN) processes full waveforms and source‐receiver geometries to estimate the vertical profile of effective sound speed.

Observational Evidence for Wind‐Driven Low‐Pass Filtering of Infrasound at Short Range
Abstract Infrasound from controlled explosions provides a unique opportunity to isolate atmospheric effects on propagation. We report observations from two campaigns in May and October 2024, each featuring 10‐ton TNT‐equivalent controlled surface chemical explosions recorded by a dense network of 31 single‐sensor stations within 23 km.

Back-Azimuth Estimation of Air-to-Ground Coupled Infrasound from Transverse Coherence Minimization
We present the transverse coherence minimization method (TCM)—an approach to estimate the back-azimuth of infrasound signals that are recorded on an infrasound microphone and a colocated three-component seismometer.

Six‐Component Electromagnetic Wave Measurements of Sprite‐Associated Lightning
Abstract Low frequency electromagnetic waves emitted by sprite‐producing lightning are normally measured using vertical electric fields or horizontal magnetic fields. Here we report for the first time the simultaneous measurement of electromagnetic waves from sprite‐producing lightning in all six electromagnetic field components Ex,Ey,Ez,Hx,Hy,andHz ...

Evidence for Virtual Source‐Receiver Refractions in Cross Correlations of Infrasonic Ambient Noise
Abstract Seasonal variability in source activity and atmospheric temperature were retrieved from 11 years of infrasonic ambient noise. Variable lag times between an array and single microbarometer were obtained from envelopes of cross‐correlation functions. Beamforming and one‐bit normalization significantly enhanced the stationary phase.

Atmospheric Specifications for Infrasound Studies: 1. Operational Analyses
Abstract Operational analysis products issued by weather services are needed for the Comprehensive Nuclear‐Test‐Ban Treaty's (CTBT) infrasound monitoring activities. They provide atmospheric specifications as high as 80 km altitude. They are used to feed propagation simulations designed to characterize sources of interest.
