Meteorologists chase tornadoes because they can conduct research to better understand and predict them.
Many storm chasers, though are not meteorologists, and just chase for the thrill or because tornadoes fascinate them.
Tornado-like whirlwinds made of fire are called firewhirls. Meteorologists do not consider them to be true tornadoes.
Meteorologists study hurricanes and tornadoes. They use data from satellites, radars, and weather stations to monitor and track these weather phenomena. Their research helps improve our understanding of these severe storms and how they form.
Meteorologists classify tornadoes based on the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale, which ranges from EF0 to EF5, with each category corresponding to a range of wind speeds and damage potential. The EF scale takes into account the observed damage caused by a tornado to determine its classification.
Meteorologists use radar systems to detect rotating thunderstorms, which can indicate the possibility of a tornado forming. They also look for other atmospheric conditions like unstable air, wind shear, and changes in temperature to forecast the likelihood of tornadoes. Additionally, spotter networks and weather observation reports on the ground help confirm tornado activity.
There is no specific word for a scientist who studies tornadoes. Such scientists would fall under the general label of meteorologists; weather scientists.
Since tornadoes are a weather phenomenon most of the scientists who study them are meteorologists. Most storm chasers are not scientists.
Meteorologists keep track of tornadoes.
Yes. Meteorologists track tornadoes via doppler radar and reports from storm spotters.

chase
No, tornadoes do not chase people or respond to them in any way. Though to a person unfortunate enough to be in the path of a tornado it can feel like being chased.
A meteorologist is the study of weather patterns, hurricanes, and tornadoes.
Scientists who chase tornadoes to study them fall under the category of meteorologists; weather scientists. Most storm chasers, though, are not scientists. Most are photographers, storm spotters, or thrill-seekers.
Meteorologists (weather scientists) study tornadoes and how to predict them, but there are no real efforts to try to prevent them. That is impossible.
Meteorologists study hurricanes and tornadoes. They use data from satellites, radars, and weather stations to monitor and track these weather phenomena. Their research helps improve our understanding of these severe storms and how they form.
Since tornadoes are a form of weather, the scientists who study tornadoes are weather scientists of meteorologists.
Meteorologists use doppler radar as well as eyewitness reports from storm spotters and law enforcement to track tornadoes
