The purpose of this paper is to review the observations in the upper atmosphere of the disturbances related to energetic infrasonic sources. Such sources can be natural: earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, polar aurora, convective storms, or artificial: rocket launches, powerful explosions. It is known that these sources produce travelling waves in the neutral atmosphere which in turn induce ionospheric disturbances by collisional effect. These waves can be observed at large distances from the source. Their most characteristic features are described. It is then shown how observations of the disturbance of the upper atmosphere by a known artificial source at long and medium distance provide information about the generation and propagation mechanisms. It is also shown how the detailed observation of the wave motion and deformation, at a short distance from the source, may lead to a better knowledge of the upper atmosphere.
