2020 Hyperion Infrasound Sensor Equilibration Evaluation

Merchant, Bion J.

Sandia National Laboratories has performed testing on several Hyperion 5313A infrasound sensors in order to determine the length of time it takes for the sensors to thermally equilibrate under a variety of environmental conditions. The motivation for performing these tests is to aid in determining suitable procedures for station operators to follow when installing these sensors. The desired outcome is for the station operators to be able to determine more quickly and reliably whether the sensors are performing correctly at the time of installation.
