Abstract

A small simple logging station is described that is intended to search for and detect the infrasonic signature of an incoming meteor. This is part of activities to support a fireball camera network currently being deployed in the Nullarbor desert in Western Australia. Camera networks are constrained in the time that they can be active by their required viewing conditions; for example they are not generally active during daylight hours or when the weather is overcast. As a complementary approach, investigation has been carried out concerning the detection of meteors by alternative means, most notably by investigating their infrasonic and electromagnetic signature. This system consists of a small logger, an infrasonic detector, a VLF detector, and other supplementary sensors, independently powered by solar panels, and with a satellite modem for data return.
