Captured on analog strip-chart paper, these waveforms predate modern digital arrays and space-based sensors, making them a unique window on meteoroid activity in the mid-twentieth century. Prior studies drew important scientific conclusions from the records but released only limited artifacts, chiefly period\u2013amplitude tables and unprocessed scans, leaving the underlying data inaccessible for independent study. The present release transforms those limited excerpts into a research-ready resource. By capturing ten large events in the mid-20th century, the dataset constitutes a critical reference point for assessing bolide activity before the advent of modern space-based and digital ground-based monitoring. The multi-year coverage and worldwide distribution of events provide a valuable reference for comparing past and more recent detections, facilitating assessments of long-term flux and the dynamics of acoustic wave propagation in Earth\u2019s atmosphere. The dataset\u2019s availability in a consolidated format ensures straightforward access to waveforms and derived measurements, supporting a wide range of scientific inquiries into bolide physics and infrasound monitoring. By preserving these historical acoustic observations, the collection maintains a significant record of mid-20th-century meteoroid entries. It thereby establishes a basis for further refinement of impact hazard evaluations, contributes to historical continuity in atmospheric observation, and enriches the study of meteoroid-generated infrasound signals on a global scale.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/data10050071","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,9]],"date-time":"2025-05-09T08:20:23Z","timestamp":1746778823000},"page":"71","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Historical Bolide Infrasound Dataset (1960\u20131972)"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4778-1409","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elizabeth A.","family":"Silber","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Sandia National Laboratories, 1515 Eubank Blvd. NE, Albuquerque, NM 87123, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rodney W.","family":"Whitaker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, NM 87545, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"284","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1749-6632.1997.tb48347.x","article-title":"Historical Detection of Atmospheric Impacts by Large Bolides Using Acoustic-Gravity Wavesa","volume":"822","author":"Revelle","year":"1997","journal-title":"Ann.
