Abstract

Infrasound, the low-frequency sound lying below the human hearing range, has the capability to propagate over very long distances in the atmosphere due to its low attenuation. Thus, infrasound can serve as a tool for monitoring explosive sources, including extraterrestrial bodies impacting the Earth’s atmosphere. This chapter describes the theoretical background on meteor physics and bolide infrasound, as well as applications of infrasound in Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) monitoring and characterization. In addition to presenting a comprehensive list of empirical relations to estimate bolide energy release, this chapter summarizes recent case studies where infrasound served as an instrumental tool in characterizing the source.
