Coordinated observations of a ~45 g earthgrazing fireball localize thermospheric shock generation to volatile-enhanced hydrodynamic shielding that enables continuum-like flow and detectable infrasound.

High-resolution WRF atmospheric models show that wind-induced shifts in meteorite ground positions are typically 143-307 m, exceeding observational uncertainties, with successful use in recovering 12 meteorites and open release of 1107 models for 302 events.
Analysis of 623 bolides finds 50% infrasound detection rate controlled primarily by entry angle rather than energy, with steeper and lower-altitude events more detectable.
