Physics-Based Propagation Simulations of Regional Infrasound”

Description
This datset includes the infrasound waveform data recorded by the array at the
Mt. Meron (IMA) in Israel. A five-element array deployed by the National Data
Center of Israel (Fee et al., 2013), and all stations had Martec Tekelec MB2005
sensors which have a flat frequency response in the infrasound band (0.1–20Hz)
(Ponceau and Bosca, 2010). The infrasound data was provided by the National
Data Center of Israel, Soreq Nuclear Research Center, and the pressure
recordings only relevant to the 2020 Beirut explosion were uploaded to the
public repository (https://zenodo.org).
