Super Typhoon Haiyan
Aloha! It has sure been busy at the lab this year, but something like Haiyan doesn't happen every day, so here I am! I have just a quick post today with a few figures and a new track. Enjoy!
The CTBTO IMS station I39PW is located on the island of Babeldaob in Palau. Super Typhoon Haiyan ran over the northern most state of Palau, Kayangel island on 06 November 2013 UTC. The infrasound station I39PW recorded the approach, and part of the typhoon before losing power late in the day UTC.
I recommend also listening to the infrasound data sped up ~ 2000x so it is in the audio range while viewing the figures. The following track is around 10 hrs of data covering the ramp up of the storm as well as the storm passing over, up until the station lost power.
Super Typhoon Haiyan was a category 5 when it slammed into Palau. According to an article on gizmodo the storm has broken the intensity scale by 0.1 when it registered 8.1 out of 8. It is beautiful and dangerous. The lab's thoughts are with the people of the Philippines.

Aloha Video Friday: Bass edition
Aloha! I have two videos for you this wonderful Friday!
First I am going to warn you that these videos were created to be listened to on a system with a healthy dose of bass. We recommend a subwoofer. If you have a speaker that can dip down into the infrasound range even better!
First we have a video staring Tungurahua Volcano in Ecuador.

The second video stars our very own Kilauea Volcano, specifically the Pu'u O'o vent
We hope you enjoyed the bass drop Plinian and Hawaiian style! Have a good weekend!

Feb 15, 2013 Russian Meteor
Aloha, this post will be updated as more information becomes available and more data are processed.
This morning in Russia a meteor exploded over the skies of Chelyabinsk (55.2N, 61.4E). The event occurred around 03:20 UTC today (Feb 15th). We, as members of the infrasound community are very busy and will be releasing bits and pieces as we go (look under @infrasoundhunter on twitter). This post will mostly contain results from our lab, although we retain the right to post anything we find totally awesome.
The CTBTO twitter account released the following image:

Initial results from station I31KZ located ~600 km from the hypercenter, to the south. (source)

More results from I31KZ. "Behold the infrasonic signature of the Russian Meteor, radiating from 8Hz down to 0.004 Hz - the deep end of sound" - isoundhunter (source)
Initial location released for the meteor, and the stations we have been talking about. Plotted in Google Earth.
"The 4mHz (0.004 Hz) low end for the Russian meteor infrasound corresponds to a 250s atmospheric oscillation, a wavelength of 85km. A BIG. Slow. Sound." - isoundhunter (source)
Russian Meteor in Hawaii!?
The CTBT IMS Infrasound site in Hawaii (I59US) seems to have recorded a signal from this event. The station I59US is located approximately 11,000 km from the source, with a travel time of 11 hours and 40 minutes.
There is an article in the Star Advertisor (unfortunetly it is behind a pay wall) but the figures are posted here

EDIT: We are still working on this amazing data set! I will be posting results as we finalize them.
