Dataset for "Yield Estimation of the August 2020 Beirut Explosion by Using Physics-Based Propagation Simulations of Regional Infrasound"

Dataset for “Yield Estimation of the August 2020 Beirut Explosion by Using Physics-Based Propagation Simulations of Regional Infrasound” Authors: Keehoon Kim and Michael E. Pasyanos Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Livermore, CA, USA 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).
