Several studies have highlighted that infrasound is a powerful tool for volcano monitoring and holds promise to improve our understanding of volcano unrest and eruptive processes. As such, infrasound sensors are routinely deployed at active volcanoes, typically colocated with seismometer networks. Recent studies have demonstrated the value of deploying infrasound sensors in array configuration (clusters of few sensors at interstation of up a few tens of meters) at distances up to a few kilometers from active volcanic vents. Arrays provide a powerful tool for realtime detection and tracking the time evolution of eruptive activity, and can deliver real time estimates of eruption intensity. Here, we report the results of extensive testing of a 6element infrasound array at Mt. Etna,...
