How are tornadoes monitored?
Tornadoes are tracked using eyewitness reports and Doppler radar, which can detect wind and rotation in a thunderstorm.
How do scientists predict and study tornadoes?
In the long term tornadoes are predicted by looking at factors such as temperature and wind speed and direction at different levels of the atmosphere and by monitoring any storm systems that might come through the area. In the short term tornadoes are predicted by scanning thunderstorms with doppler radar and looking for signs of strong rotation.Scientists study tornadoes primarily with doppler radar as well, which can pick up information on the winds inside the funnel it you can get close enough. A few have deployed probes inside of tornadoes to take measurements.
Which type of scientist would most likely predict a tornado?
Since tornadoes are a form of weather, they would be predicted by a meteorologist.
Is there technology that can help predict tornadoes?
Yes. Tornado watches are issued based partly on computerized weather models and tornadic storms are tracked using Doppler radar.
How are tornadoes paths projected?
Once a tornado is on the ground meteorologists look at where the tornado is and the direction it is traveling, which allows some prediction of its path. However scientists still do not fully understand how tornadoes change direction, so that cannot be predicted well aside from the tendency of strong tornadoes to make left turns.
How tropical storms are tracked and their future paths predicted?
they are tracked by the weather satellites and radars
Can fashion be tracked or predicted?
Fashion is about future wear or style, so fashion wasn't predicted in anty time.
Can people prevent tornadoes?
No, tornadoes may be predicted to some degree but not prevented.
How do they track tornadoes?
Tornadoes are tracked using Doppler radar and reports from storm spotters and other eyewitnesses.
How are tornadoes prevented or predicted?
Can't prevent them but they are predicted by weather observations. This is called meteorology. Tornados can be predicted but what can't be predicted is how they move or where they will go next.
How is fog tracked?
Fog is usually tracked by taking readings of temperature and humidity. Fog can sometimes be spotty but usually can be predicted with great accuracy.
What type of instruments are used to detect a tornado?
Doppler radar can be used to detect tornadoes. Aside from that tornadoes are tracked based on eyewitness reports.
Can a disaster be predicted?
Many disasters like hurricanes and thunder storms can be predicted. However, many disasters, like tornadoes and earthquakes, cannot be predicted with much accuracy.
Why is lightning more dangerous than a hurricane and a tornado?
Hurricanes can be tracked and predicted over the course of days. Tornadoes usually take a few minutes to form, giving time to issue warnings. Tornadoes are often visible as funnels before the hit. Lightning, by comparison, occurs in a split second with no warning signs ahead of time and often kills instantly.
Why do scientists follow tornadoes?
Scientists follow tornadoes to track where they are going and warn people in their paths. They also study tornadoes to learn more about them so they can be better predicted.
Are there going to be anymore tornadoes in Perth in winter 2012?
That is impossible to predict. Tornadoes cannot be predicted in the long term. Lead times in forecasting tornadoes are measured in minutes, not months.
What is used to monitor a tornado?
Tornadoes are tracked remotely using Doppler radar and based on eyewitness reports.
