A decade-scale catalog of coherent atmospheric infrasound transients from a three-element array at Jang Bogo Station, Terra Nova Bay, East Antarctica (2017–2026)
Abstract. Long, continuous infrasound records from the Antarctic coast are rare, but they provide passive, all-weather observations of cryospheric, oceanic, and atmospheric processes. We present a decade-scale catalog of coherent atmospheric infrasound transients recorded by the three-element KIS (KOPRI InfraSound) array at Jang Bogo Station, Terra Nova Bay, East Antarctica. Across 2,507 array-days spanning 2017–2026, we identified 23,768 coherent acoustic transients using an STA/LTA coincidence detector followed by inter-element coherence and slowness analysis. Of these, 22,711 were recorded in the 100 Hz HDF stream and 1,057 in the 20 Hz BDF stream, which bridges a 2021–2022 configuration gap. Each catalog entry includes detection time, duration, inter-element coherence, wavefront back-azimuth, apparent velocity, signal-to-noise ratio, nominal-equivalent pressure, directional sector, and recording stream. The apparent-velocity distribution is sharply concentrated around 333 m s⁻¹, consistent with acoustic propagation. The median event duration is 6.5 s, and the catalog contains both impulsive and emergent waveform classes. The catalog and its per-event waveform windows are openly archived under a CC BY 4.0 license at Zenodo (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.21882394) (Park et al., 2026d), and the catalog is mirrored at the Korea Polar Data Center (https://doi.org/10.22663/KOPRI-KPDC-00003159) (Park et al., 2026f). Worked examples show that the catalog captures the coherent infrasound of the 2022 Hunga Tonga eruption and a transient from the direction of David Glacier that follows a local glacial earthquake. The dataset provides a reusable resource for cryo-acoustic and infrasound-monitoring studies on the Antarctic margin. Physical interpretation of the directional source families is presented in a companion analysis paper.
The current version of ms is sufficient to be published. It inlcude enough description about methodoligy and scientific results of infrasound array abservation at Jang Bogo Station, Antarctica.
