What else can I help you with?
Can you see tornadoes from space?
No, it is not possible to see tornadoes from space as they are small and short-lived weather events that are difficult to detect from such a distance. Additionally, the resolution of satellite images is not high enough to capture tornadoes.
How meteorologists measure various weather patterns like tornadoes and hurricanes?
Hurricanes are measured through a combination of satellite imagery, manned flights into the storms, Doppler radar, and ground ad seas surface based observations. Tornadoes are more difficult because they are smaller, shorter lived, and overall less predictable. Measurements have been made using Doppler radar and ground and ground based probes. Even then, most tornadoes do not have any measurements taken, so strength is estimated based on the damage caused.
Can tornadoes merge together?
Not really, there is a such thing as a multiple vortex tornado. These tornadoes have smaller, stronger vorticies moving around inside of the tornado. Sometimes a multivortex tornado can have the appearance of being two or more tornadoes but it still is one tornado.
How do you find info on tornadoes?
You can find information on tornadoes from sources like the National Weather Service, Storm Prediction Center, and local news outlets. These sources provide updates on tornado watches and warnings, safety tips, and educational resources about tornadoes. Additionally, websites like NOAA and FEMA offer valuable information on preparing for tornadoes and staying safe during a tornado.
How much tornadoes have happened in Montana?
On average, around 10 tornadoes occur in Montana each year. These tornadoes typically tend to be weaker in intensity compared to those seen in other parts of the United States. Montana's tornado season usually runs from June to August.
Can tornadoes be seen by a satellite?
No. Tornadoes descend from very large parent thunderstorms. If you were to try to see a tornado from space the parent thunderstorm would block it from view. Additionally, many tornadoes are very brief, too brief to orient a satellite.
How can you see a tornado on satellite image?
You can't. Tornadoes descend from thunderstorms, and so cannot be seen from above. You can, however, see the thunderstorms in a satellite image. See the link below for a satellite time lapse of storms tha produce tornadoes.
What do tornadoes look like from space?
Tornadoes themselves cannot be seen from space because they are blocked from above by the thunderstorms that produce them. The link below shows a storm satellite of a storm system that was producing tornadoes at the time the picture was taken. The tornadoes themselves formed under the storms that are seen as the right-hand branch of the spiral-shaped system. Again, what you are seeing is the storm that produced the tornadoes, not the tornadoes themselves. At this resolution individual tornadoes would be too small to see anyway.
Can tornadoes create other tornadoes?
Yes, some strong tornadoes create brief satellite tornadoes that circle the main funnel.
How many tornadoes come out of one?
Usually one tornado does not result in other tornadoes. Some strong tornadoes can produce a satellite tornadoes that orbit them, but this is not very common.
Is it true that tornadoes have been seen?
Of course tornadoes have been seen. They're not invisible. in fact, they're huge. You can see videos of tornadoes if you do a YouTube search.
What are Small tornadoes around the main tornado?
Smaller tornadoes near a larger tornadoes are often called satellite tornadoes. Smaller vortices within a tornado are called subvorticies or suction vorticies.
Has a satellite ever seen Saturn?
Yes.
What satellite found Venus?
No satellite found Venus. Venus can be seen from Earth with the naked eye.
Are tornadoes a serious threat to Georgia?
Yes. The state has seen a number of major outbreaks with tornadoes as strong as F4.
Are tornadoes a serious threat to Ohio?
Yes. Although not as common as in Tornado Alley, tornadoes are fairly common in Ohio. The state has even seen several F5 tornadoes.
What other storm can a tornado cause?
A tornado cannot cause another type of storm, though some strong tornadoes will spawn smaller satellite tornadoes that "orbit" the main vortex.
