Abstract(in English) Since infrasound travels in the atmosphere significantly faster than tsunami gravity waves, early detection of tsunamis can be well expected by monitoring infrasound. To accurately identify a tsunami source it is important to use a large number of sensors distributed with long baselines. We have thus developed a low-cost infrasound observation device using micro-electric mechanical system (MEMS) atmospheric pressure sensors. To test its usability, indoor and outdoor tests were conducted using multipoint observations. In indoor experiments, infrasound was excited by opening and closing a door, and by bursting a large balloon. The accuracy of time synchronization was examined between infrasound observation devices at different points. Results showed that the time errors were within one sampling time (10 ms) in almost all indoor conditions. In the outdoor field test, infrasound excited by festival firework explosions were observed at multiple points in Sendai, Japan. Results showed that it is possible to estimate the source positions with certain accuracy.
