2017-2026 infrasound transient catalog
This is a **data product**; the scientific interpretation of the source families (marine air-gun survey contamination, a located glacial source at David Glacier, ocean/sea-ice and wind sources) is reported in the companion analysis paper (see *Related publications*).

The unit is physical (Pa), so both relative comparison between events and physical-amplitude use are possible, **but the absolute calibration rests on the nominal manufacturer sensitivity and has not been independently verified** against a reference barometer (see *Quality control*). A blank value means the element waveform was unavailable for that event. Observed values span roughly 0.001–0.5 Pa (median ≈ 0.017 Pa); the loudest sector is ESE (air-gun shots) and the weakest is the wind-driven W-NW sector. | 1.72 Mb | Download |
