Abstract

An infrasonic signal from an atmospheric bolide explosion was detected on September 24, 2002 near the Vitim river, Irkutsk region (57.9 N, 112.9 E). The signal was detected by three spatially separated microbarographs of the Polar Geophysical Institute (PGI), Kola Science Center, Russian Academy of Sciences, Apatity (67.6 N, 33 E) at a distance of 4000 km from the source. The acoustic gravity signal from a falling meteorite at high latitudes was detected at such a distance for the first time in Russia.
