If the probe ship is sailing at sea, the meteorologist on board will put a hydrogen balloon.

The sound waves generated by the storm will vibrate with hydrogen, which will make people close to the hydrogen balloon feel strong vibration.

Infrasound is a sound wave with a frequency less than 20Hz, and its intensity is so great that people can't hear it. However, strong infrasound is harmful to people's hearing and internal organs. The energy of the storm is very large, and the frequency is close to the natural frequency of the hydrogen balloon, which is less than 20Hz, so the hydrogen balloon will vibrate. When people put hydrogen balloons close to their ears, they will feel the pain inside their ears like needles, so they can forecast storms at sea.

Extended data:

The sound frequency of infrasound is very low, below 20Hz, but the wavelength is very long and the propagation distance is very long. It travels farther than ordinary sound waves, light waves and radio waves.

Infrasound will interfere with the normal function of human nervous system and endanger human health. A certain intensity of infrasound can make people dizzy, sick, vomiting, out of balance and even depressed. Some people think that motion sickness and seasickness are caused by infrasound waves accompanied by cars and ships.

People who live in buildings with more than ten floors often feel dizzy and nauseous in windy weather, which is also because strong winds make high-rise buildings shake and produce infrasound waves. Stronger infrasound waves can also make people deaf, unconscious, insane and even die.
