A a radar is better: it can detect a tornado at a distance. A barometer would be of no use unless the tornado came dangerously close.
A developing tornado can be detected by Doppler radar. This radar can measure wind speeds, and strong rotation withing a thunderstorm often indicates that at tornado is developing or is likely to develop.
Radar does not scan for cloud patterns. In the case of finding a tornado it looks at wind speed. If a winds are moving very fast towards the radar and winds moving fast awaay from it in a small area, it means strong rotation and a possible tornado.
Meteorologists use a combination of Doppler radar and eyewitness reports. Doppler radar can detect the rotation of a tornado or rotation that may soon lead to one. Newer advancements in radar can now detect debris lifted into the air from trees and buildings. People can also report when they see a tornado.
Doppler radar.
They use radar to watch the storm move and a barometer to study its pressure!
Doppler radar!!! this is the choice right? weather satellight barometer weather balloon Doppler radar
Doppler Radar, Thermometer, Barometer
If a tornado is spotted or is detected by radar, then a tornado warning will be issued.
Usually Doppler radar is used.
Doppler radar can be used to make such predictions.
Much of the time, yes. However if radar detects strong enough rotation in a storm, indicating a tornado is likely to form soon, that may also prompt a tornado warning.
A developing tornado can be detected by Doppler radar. This radar can measure wind speeds, and strong rotation withing a thunderstorm often indicates that at tornado is developing or is likely to develop.

Doppler radar
Doppler radar can detect the signature of a tornado from a distance.
If a tornado has formed in the U.S. chances are it will be detected by Doppler radar.
The tool that is used to monitor tornado activity is the Doppler weather radar.
