Infrasound
Measurement and Processing
KNMI has developed a microbarometer (KNMI-mb) to measure infrasound. This KNMI-mb is sensitive to air pressure fluctuations
in the frequency range of 0.002 to 20 Hz with amplitudes between hundredths to tens of pascals. Arrays of microbarometers
are deployed to increase the signal-to-noise ratio of the measurements through signal summation. Furthermore, events
can be automatically detected by applying array processing techniques.
