Dolbear expressed the relationship as the following formula which provides a way to estimate the temperature ''TF'' in degrees Fahrenheit from the number of chirps per minute ''N'': This formula is accurate to within a degree or so when applied to the chirping of the Snowy Tree Cricket . Reformulated to give the temperature in degrees Celsius , it is: The above formulae are expressed in terms of integers in order to make them easier to remember - they aren't intended to be exact. The chirping of the more common Field Cricket is not as reliably correlated to temperature - its chirping rate varies depending on other factors such as age and mating success. EXTERNAL LINKS
