Infrasound recordings from 2021 eruptive episodes of Etna Volcano.

A six-element infrasound array (CONC) was deployed at Monte Conca on Mt. Etna, Italy, approximately 6 km from the active vents of Etna Volcano, near to a permanent seismic station (EMNC) managed by the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia, osservatorio Etneo (INGV-OE).The CONC array operated from 20 May 2021 until beginning of April 2022. The dataset here submitted includes infrasound recordings in MiniSEED (mseed) format, as well as array processing results in .mat and .csv formats for the period of intense volcanic activity between 20 May and the end of October 2021, including 39 paroxysmal events.The array consists of six IST2018 broadband infrasound sensors developed by ISTerre, Université Savoie Mont Blanc, France. These sensors have a sensitivity of 20 mV/Pa, a frequency response from 60 mHz to 40 Hz, and a full-scale pressure range of ±240 Pa. Each sensor was sampled at 100 Hz using DIGOS DATACUBE³ digital recorders, which provide an effective resolution of 22.4 bits at 100 Hz and GPS timing accuracy of 1 μs.The geometry features a central element (CONC6), co-located with the seismic station EMCN (INGV-OE), and five additional nodes positioned at the approximate vertices of a pentagon, forming an aperture of about 70 meters.

Data were bandpass-filtered between 0.5 and 10 Hz and analyzed using 10-second moving windows with 90% overlap (i.e., 1-second shift). The resulting detections characterize the infrasound wavefield in terms of pressure amplitude, back-azimuth, and apparent velocity.This dataset includes a Jupyter Notebook, <i>Read_plot_mseed.ipynb</i>, designed to read daily MiniSEED (mseed) files and convert them into physical units of pressure (Pascals), as well as a corresponding Python script that performs the same function.This temporary deployment was supported by a collaboration between INGV (Sezione di Pisa (PI) and Osservatorio Etneo (OE)), and the University of Liverpool (UK).
