Download or read book Infrasound Monitoring for Atmospheric Studies written by Alexis Le Pichon and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-10-26 with total page 1167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the publication of the first volume “Infrasound monitoring for atmospheric studies” published in 2010, significant advances were achieved in the fields of engineering, propagation modelling, and atmospheric remote sensing methods. The global infrasound network, which consists of the International Monitoring Network (IMS) for nuclear test ban verification completed by an increasing number of regional cluster arrays deployed around the globe, has evidenced an unprecedented potential for detecting, locating and characterizing various natural and man-made sources. In recent years, infrasound has evolved into a broad interdisciplinary field encompassing academic disciplines of geophysics and innovative technical and scientific developments. The advances in innovative ground-based instruments, including infrasound inversions for continuous observations of the stratosphere and mesosphere, provide useful insights into the geophysical source phenomenology and atmospheric processes involved. Systematic investigations into low-frequency infrasound signals and the development of complementary observational platforms point out new insights into the dynamics of the middle atmosphere which play a significant role in both tropospheric weather and climate. This monitoring system also provides continuous relevant information about natural hazards with high societal benefits, like on-going volcanic eruptions, surface earthquakes, meteorites or severe weather. With this new edition, researchers and students benefit from a comprehensive content of both fundamental and applied inter-disciplinary topics.
Download or read book Infrasound Propagation in Terrestrial Planetary Atmospheres written by Lynsey Schroeder (B.) and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acoustic waves in the infrasonic frequency range, that is below 10 Hertz, have been observed to propagate to high altitudes in Earth's atmosphere. These waves have many sources, both natural and artificial, such as seismic events, convective storm systems, and nuclear explosions. Here, we seek to better understand the characteristics of atmospheric infrasound- below 0.1 Hz in particular- so as to improve the ability to detect their presence and sources. It is well-known that ambient attributes of an atmosphere, such as temperature, density, and composition, directly affect the propagation and growth of waves, and therefore it is likely that these dynamic phenomena are present (and may be detected) on other terrestrial planets with similar atmospheric structures. Using a one-dimensional, nonlinear, compressible atmospheric acoustics model, this thesis seeks to investigate the propagation and dissipation of atmospheric acoustic waves in different terrestrial planetary atmospheres. The model, which includes gravity, molecular viscosity, and thermal conduction, has been developed using numerical solutions in Fortran, and is validated for the atmospheric conditions of Earth, Mars, and Venus. Empirical profiles for these planets are provided by the NASA Global Reference Atmospheric Model (GRAM) packages developed by Marshall Spaceflight Center. The terrestrial planets selected for investigation in this thesis exhibit similar atmospheric structures with very different temperatures, pressures, and compositions, which makes them ideal for a comparative study. The model is used to determine the maximum achieved wave amplitude and propagation time to several altitudes of note as they vary with atmospheric conditions and wave parameters; sensitivity to these parameters on the three planets under investigation are determined. Furthermore, by establishing these sensitivities we may identify conditions that are favorable for detection of infrasound in the upper atmospheres of Earth, Mars, and Venus. By performing large model run sweeps of parameters such as latitude and longitude, time of day, and solar activity, we have drawn correlations between the atmospheric profile of each planet and the maximum achieved amplitude of propagating infrasound. The variations of temperature and gas composition due to ambient conditions directly affect damping of waves by viscosity and thermal conduction, and thus affect the growth of infrasonic wave packets. Venusian waves were found to be the most sensitive to ambient conditions, while waves on Earth were found to be the lease sensitive. Results indicate that upward-propagating atmospheric acoustic waves are readily detectible from the middle and upper atmospheres of Earth and Venus, however those on Mars may only be detectible if they have energetic sources.

Download or read book Handbook of Atmospheric Electrodynamics 1995 written by Hans Volland and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 769 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The participation of such diverse scientific and technical disciplines as meteorology, astronomy, atmospheric electricity, ionospheric and magnetospheric physics, electromagnetic wave propagation, and radio techniques in the research of atmospherics means that results are published in scientific papers widely spread throughout the literature. This Handbook collects the latest knowledge on atmospherics and presents it in two volumes. Each chapter is written by an expert in his or her field. Topics include the physics of thunderclouds, thunder, global atmospheric electric currents, biological aspects of sferics, and various space techniques for detecting lightning within our own atmosphere as well as in the atmospheres of other planets. Up-to-date applications and methodology are detailed. Volumes I and II offer a comprehensive discussion that together will serve as an important resource for practitioners, professionals, and students alike.
