TY - JOUR PY - 2009// TI - Explosion localization via infrasound JO - Journal of the Acoustical Society of America A1 - Szuberla, Curt A. L. A1 - Olson, John V. A1 - Arnoult, Kenneth M. SP - EL112 EP - 6 VL - 126 IS - 5 N2 - Two acoustic source localization techniques were applied to infrasonic data and their relative performance was assessed. The standard approach for low-frequency localization uses an ensemble of small arrays to separately estimate far-field source bearings, resulting in a solution from the various back azimuths. This method was compared to one developed by the authors that treats the smaller subarrays as a single, meta-array. In numerical simulation and a field experiment, the latter technique was found to provide improved localization precision everywhere in the vicinity of a 3-km-aperture meta-array, often by an order of magnitude.
