Popis: Infrasound monitoring is one of the four technologies used by the International Monitoring System to verify compliance with the CTBT. Atmospheric and shallow underground nuclear explosions can generate infrasound waves that can be detected by the infrasound networks. Of the 60 infrasonic stations proposed by CTBT, 10 are located in South American countries and islands close to the continent. Because the latest nuclear tests were underground and on the Asian continent, the infrasound stations in South America did not detect them. However, there are several sources of infrasound signals detect by South American stations. This work aims to present a complete catalog of infrasound events detected in South America.
