1 High Trace Velocity (HTV) infrasonic signals Possible origin

2 Swedish-Finnish Infrasound Network

3 Locally Observed Meteor Events

4 HTV signal signature

5 HTV signal scalogram

6 Atmospheric vortices Stenflo, L.: Acoustic solitary vortices. Phys. Fluids, 30 (10), 3297, 1987.

7 2007-06-24 Satellite weather images

8 2007-06-24 Occurrence of HTV signals in Kiruna and Sodankylä

9 2007-06-24 a sample from Kiruna

10 2007-06-24 a sample from Sodankylä

11 2007-06-24 Sodankylä-motion pictures

12 Intensity pattern on the ground

13 Intensity ellipse

14 Shape of the intensity ellipse for both samples 230x690 m 190x380 m

15 Some properties Carry a lot of acoustic energy (up to 40 W/m2*sec) Are visible on the meteorological radar

16 2006-05-12 Kiruna infrasound and ESRANGE radar

17 2006-05-12 ESRANGE radar

18 Similar phenomena? Certain forms of atmospheric turbulence Cold air vortex Some boundary layer phenomena? Martian dust-devils

19 Cold air vortex

20 Martian dust-devil
