Although each tornado is unique, most kinds of tornadoes go through a life cycle of formation, maturation, and dissipation. [4] The process by which a tornado dissipates or decays, occasionally conjured as tornadolysis, is of particular interest for study as is tornadogenesis, longevity, and intensity.
Reliably predicting tornado intensity and longevity remains a problem, as do details affecting characteristics of a tornado during its life cycle and tornadolysis. Other rich areas of research are tornadoes associated with mesovortices within linear thunderstorm structures and within tropical cyclones. [141]
Date: 1994 and 1995: Location: Tornado Alley: Also known as: Verification of the Origins of Rotation in Tornadoes Experiment 1: Outcome: Documented an entire tornado, which, in conjunction with deployment of the NEXRAD system, helped the National Weather Service to provide severe weather warnings with a thirteen-minute lead time, and reduce false alarms by ten percent.
An EF4 tornado with wind speeds ranging from 166 to 200 mph can cause devastating damage. Most to all walls on a well-built house will likely collapse, and high-rise buildings can sustain ...
Some of the most notorious twisters in U.S. history were wedge tornadoes, including the EF5 that leveled Joplin, Missouri, on May 22, 2011, and the El Reno tornado, which was a jaw-dropping 2.6 ...
Lohud and USA TODAY take a look at a viral video that seemingly shows a tornado in NYC.
The tornado became the subject of several scientific papers analyzing the life cycle of and wind speed speeds in a tornado. Among the studies was the first-ever photogrammetric analysis of wind speeds in a tornado. The film of the tornado is still regarded as being of exceptionally high quality and sharpness.
Peak tornado season starts in the spring, so it's important to be prepared and separate the facts from the potentially deadly myths. Life-threatening tornado myths debunked [Video] Skip to main ...
