Novel Infrasound Monitor Project: Real Geophysics Research on a Budget
Physics Education, v55 n5 Article 055025 Sep 2020
Described here is a well established opensource geophysics project to monitor atmospheric infrasound 24/7. It employs a modern digital, I[superscript 2]C enabled differential pressure sensor--unlike the older analog devices more commonly used. Python software automatically uploads plots whilst data is stored in standard ".mseed" format for further analysis. Very open-ended with lots of opportunities for students of all levels, schools and above, to redesign and test replacement components. This is real science, in a little studied area. The equipment required is relatively cheap and offers many opportunities for students to build and refine a sensing system of research quality. It may be of interest as a national school's network producing results of real scientific and educational value at little cost.
