Infrasound signals in the microbarom band (about 0.2 Hz) generated by hurricanes often do not appear to originate near the eye where the winds are strongest. This paper suggests that conditions conducive to microbarom (and microseism) generation can occur along the trailing periphery of the storm through the interaction of the storm-generated wavefield with the ambient swell field, resulting in detection bearings that vary from the center of the storm by up to 20 degrees. Infrasound data from Typhoon Usagi (2007) is presented that supports this theory.
