Ocean Temps Could Be
Key in Predicting Tornados
Forecasting
the weather has become more and more improved over the years. Weather satellites, better radars and mega
computers to work the data has increased the ability to help meteorologists
predict the outbreak of bad weather on a more efficient level. This is especially true with tornados. Surface temperatures of ocean water can help
scientist determine when tornados will occur even months before they hit. This type of technology and information could
be a difference in how much damage and how many lives are lost. After the study of ocean surface
temperatures, scientist have learned that the strongest connection to
determining this could have been related to the outbreak of tornados in 2011
that kill more than 300 people.
Analysis: Patrick
Kiger uses this information as a guide or tool to help us understand that
weather patterns are more predictable when we use the ocean surface
temperatures to help with the outbreak of sporadic tornados. This information could potentially save many
lives. He focuses on the temperatures
and how it is so closely related to the outbreaks of tornados. They have used information gathered from 1950
to 2014 that will help them in predicting tornado outbreaks.
Tornados are deadly and scary. They pop up when the atmosphere is unstable
and then life becomes unstable and scary things happen. The wind blows like it will never blow again
and starts to pick up things that defy gravity.
Things that wind should not carry, become airborne and start to swirl in
the sky. Brick homes and eighteen
wheelers fly through the air like leaves on a tree during the fall. It is a frightening experience and one that
once you live through it, you will never forget. The sound of the wind like a freight train
rumbling down the tracks will forever be embedded in my mind. I will never forget.
