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.

What instruments do scientists use to predict tornadoes?
For long-term outlooks, scientists use computer models to predict the behavior of weather systems. This can predict the general risk for tornadoes across a region, but not wehat specific areas will likely be hit. On the short term, the rotation in a storm that may produce a tornado is detected using Doppler radar. The radar may also detect the tornado itself.
What do scientist use to study tornadoes?
Scientists use Doppler radar and computer models to study tornadoes. Some researchis done by placing probes in a tornado's path. But this has met with limited success.
Why is it hard to predict a tornado?
Compared with other storms tornadoes are small and form quickly. This makes them difficult to track. Small factors that we can barely detect or can't detect can also affect a tornado. Furthermore tornadoes are not well understood by scientists and they are difficult to study. Their relatively small size and unpredictability makes it nearly impossible to take measurements from inside.
What type of information is used to predict tornadoes?
Temperature, Doppler radar, and wind direction are some of the types of information used to predict tornadoes.
Can scientists and meteorologists predict tornadoes?
yes, to a limited degree. By using tools like Doppler radar meteorologists can predict approximately where and when a tornado is likely to occur. Still, even with a combination of radar and weather spotters we cannot predict the exact path a tornado will take with certainty.
Who are the people who study tornadoes prevention?
Meteorologists (weather scientists) study tornadoes and how to predict them, but there are no real efforts to try to prevent them. That is impossible.
What Scientists who study weather and try to predict called?
Meteorologists study the weather and try to predict it.
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.
What are scientists call who study earthquakes in order to predict and prepare for them?
Seismologists or geophysical scientists.
What scientist studies tornados?
Since tornadoes are a form of weather, the scientists who study tornadoes are weather scientists of meteorologists.
What are the scientists called that chase tornadoes?
People who study tornadoes are a type of meteorologist.
When scientists study the interaction of atoms what can they predict?
go to study island .com ashhancock @sccpss password is sccpss ******
Who invented the tornado in a bottle experiment?
Mainly scientists that study tornadoes or tornado watchers
Where do scientists go to study tornadoes?
meteorologists study tornadoes, they learn more about them by chasing them. it's a dangerous job since you never know with path a tornado is going to take.
A scientist who predicts rainfall is called what?
Meteorologists are scientists who study and predict weather patterns.
What type of scientists might chase a tornado?
Since tornadoes are a weather phenomenon most of the scientists who study them are meteorologists. Most storm chasers are not scientists.
What animal that predict the tornadoes?
There is not real scientific evidence that animals predict tornadoes. Tornadoes come with thunderstorms, and some animals, such as dogs, may hear the thunder before we do, but it is unlikely that they can actually predict tornadoes.
