What are some of the problems researchers face when trying to predict tornadoes?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
First and foremost tornadoes are microscale events, meaning that compared with other weather patterns they are small, short lived, develop quickly, and thus can be influenced by small changes. The minute differences that determine exactly where and when a tornado will develop are often too small to detect or accurately measure, especially since we cannot measure many conditions at very location. Somtimes the tornado itself escapes detection until it is too late.
Even then, the dynamics of tornado formation are still not fully understood, so we still don't know why one storm will produce a tornado while another won't.

What are three ways tornadoes are studied?
Tornadoes can be studied:Retrospectively from the damage they leave behind and patterns in that damage.Directly, by scanning them with Doppler radar and trying to place probes in their paths.Virtually, byt creating computer models of tornadoes.
How is science used to understand tornadoes?
Tornado studies now currently involve trying to examine the tornado with scientific instruments. Chief among them is Doppler radar, which can analyze wind speeds in a storm from a distance. Other work has involved trying to take measurements directly from inside the funnel using probes placed in the path. Other scientists have built computer models to try to understand tornado dynamics. Analysis has also been done on patterns in damage and debris in tornadoes.

How do tornadoes stop?
It is not fully understood about how exactly tornadoes form, grow and die. Tornado researchers are still trying to solve the tornado puzzle, but for every piece that seems to fit they often uncover new pieces that need to be studied. However, current knowledge indicates that a tornado usually dissipates when cold air undercuts the updraft of the tornado's parent thunderstorm. This causes the updraft to weaken until it can no longer support a tornado.
Is twister a film?
Yes. Twister is 1996 film about a group of storm chasers trying to study tornadoes.
