Outline of the Talk • Introduction • IDC processing - current status • Software development and tuning • Infrasound contracts in 2003 • Summary Infrasound Workshop in San Diego, USA
Introduction • Follow the guidelines from CTBT/WGB/TL-2/79 (Sept2003) • Significant effort should be directed into assessment and further development of infrasound tools for analysis. It is recognized that some existing tools (e.g. PMCC) show considerable potential for forming the basis for infrasound analysis, but are not yet in a form suitable for routine operations. • Continuity with the work being accomplished • Understand the infrasound signals with station monitoring • Assess the capabilities and limitations of the current software • Propose design for enhanced automatic and interactive software at the IDC • Test and implement new tools Infrasound Workshop in San Diego, USA

Software Development and Tuning • Automatic Detection Processing (Cont.) • Accomplishments • Comparison of the daily detections produced by DFX-libinfra DFX-PMCC • DFX-PMCC source code modified and substantially improved • DFX-PMCC results synchronized with WinPMCC results: high level of confidence in the detection capability and quality • Baseline configuration established for DFX-PMCC • DFX-PMCC ready to be implemented and tested on real-time processing (IDC Testbed) Infrasound Workshop in San Diego, USA
Software Development and Tuning • Reduce the number of bogus events related to microbaroms/surf • Identify the type of station-event based on the signal characteristics • Azimuth stability or slightly variable with time • Series of detectionsdistributed over a long time period • Frequency content on a narrow band centered around 0.15 Hz • The quality of the detections is a key factor to allow the signal identification • Example of microbaroms recorded at I34MN on January 18, 2003 • Example of surf noise recorded at I59US on October 12, 2003 Infrasound Workshop in San Diego, USA
Software Development and Tuning • Automatic Global Association Processing (GA) • Decrease the number of HI bogus events(36% of total infra events) • Disable in GA the possibility of using HI seed associations (R. Le Bras) Before changes in GA After changes in GA Period 20 Sep 2003 - 8 Oct 2003 Infrasound Workshop in San Diego, USA
Software Development and Tuning • Interactive Processing at the IDC • Software installation and testing at the IDC • 2001: WinPMCC (developed by DASE, France) delivered to the IDC • 2002: WinPMCC tested and validated at the IDC • Design of the future IDC interactive software for infrasound signal analysis • Use WinPMCC experience for prototyping the future IDC infrasound interactive software • Use the efficient cross-correlation/consistency algorithm • Need a 3D colored representation for the derived data (azimuth, speed, consistency ...) Infrasound Workshop in San Diego, USA
Software Development and Tuning • Interactive Processing at the IDC (Cont.) • Plans for the future IDC infrasound interactive software • Continue to use ARS for infrasound interactive review • Bypass the graphic limitation of ARS introducing a new tool that has the capability of displaying 3D information (PMCC pixels) in order to review infrasound signals • Geotool window would be the best candidate to supplement ARS and support PMCC-type display • Geotool offers a good comfort for displaying color information in addition to the waveforms and arrivals. Geotool is also fully integrated with CSS database. • Geotool-PMCC would display the derived information calculated by the automatic processing (DFX-PMCC) Infrasound Workshop in San Diego, USA

Summary • IDC current and near-future objectives • WGB-TL-2/79: Given the current lack of operational analysis capability, the group recommends that no attempts should be made in the short term to include infrasound into the routine analyst review, and that the automated operational processing of infrasound data may need to be suspended. • Automatic Detection Processing: Improve the automatic detection bulletin to a high level of confidence and quality (DFX-PMCC) • Phase identification: identify phases related to known categories of long duration events (microbaroms, surf noise) and exclude them from the automatic event association • Event building: Limit building large amount of false events by configuring GA • Interactive processing: Provide the IDC analysts with a suitable infrasound specific interactive tool (Geotool-PMCC) • IDC systems configuration: [Follow WGB-TL-2/79] Suspend temporarily infrasound network processing on OPS, keep it on Testbed where DFX-PMCC will be tested Infrasound Workshop in San Diego, USA
