ABSTRACT:
A vibration sensor mounted on a tree on the earth outputs a signal voltage corresponding to a sound from the earth. The signal voltage is continuously measured by a sound observing device and read into a data processing device. The data processing device has a forecasting unit which performs a long-term weather forecasting process based on the value of the signal voltage, i.e., a sound pressure level representing the magnitude of the sound pressure of the sound from the earth. Specifically, the forecasting unit forecasts long-term weather conditions such as warm and cold climates related to high and low temperatures three and six months after the measurement of the sound from the earth, based on changes in the sound pressure level of the measured sound.
