High Trace Velocity (HTV) infrasonic signals Possible origin
Atmospheric vortices • Stenflo, L.: Acoustic solitary vortices. Phys. Fluids, 30 (10), 3297, 1987.
Shape of the intensity ellipse for both samples 230x690 m 190x380 m
Some properties • Carry a lot of acoustic energy (up to 40 W/m2*sec) • Are visible on the meteorological radar
Similar phenomena? • Certain forms of atmospheric turbulence • Cold air vortex • Some boundary layer phenomena? • Martian dust-devils
