Improved infrasound array processing with robust estimators

SUMMARY Infrasound array data are commonly used to detect and characterize infrasonic signals from a variety of natural and anthropogenic sources. Here we examine the effectiveness of robust regression estimators (L1-norm regression, M-estimators and least trimmed squares) for infrasound array processing, and compare them against standard array processing algorithms (least-squares estimation, frequency–wavenumber analysis and progressive...
