ITW2007: P. Campus Tokyo, 13-16 November 2007 A few minutes after midnight (local time) on March 27, 2003, a huge bolide entered the atmosphere, moving across Ohio, Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin and producing a luminous blue flash. Fragments of the bolide hit an inhabited area of about 10 km, located south of Chicago. Chicago fireball

On January 13, 2006 the volcano entered a period of repetitive and explosive eruptions. Each event produced ash plumes, mudflows, and pyroclastic flows Volcanoes

ITW2007: P. Campus Tokyo, 13-16 November 2007 KARYMSKY Two events close in time, with no significant variation in the meteorological conditions (wind speed, wind direction, temperature): the difference in the waveforms can be associated to differences in the source Volcanoes

ITW2007: P. Campus Tokyo, 13-16 November 2007 KARYMSKY From 07 May to 14 May the seismicity was above background levels, with 330-450 shallow earthquakes per day. Based on seismic data, possible ash and gas explosions. No origin time was available Volcanoes

53
ITW2007: P. Campus Tokyo, 13-16 November 2007 The presence of an infrasound station in a volcanic area can be extremely useful to monitor the beginning of an eruption and to define its origin time. In addition, an infrasound station can be used both as a unique volcano monitoring tool in case other monitoring systems are not available (or cannot be used), and as a complementary tool to other, already existing, monitoring systems.
54
ITW2007: P. Campus Tokyo, 13-16 November 2007 The IMS Infrasound Network is not only a powerful tool to monitor nuclear explosions, but it can also provide a significant contribution to monitor natural events: Complement or provide information about earthquakes Complement or provide information about bolides, meteorites, auroras Monitor effects of global warming Complement or provide information about volcanic eruptions (origin time, source characteristics) Conclusions
