Agencies Join Engineering Students To Improve Tornado Alerts
Washington, D.C. – The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) are partnering with universities in tornado-prone states to create more accurate and timely tornado warnings. Their ultimate goal is to improve public safety.
Teams from Nebraska-Lincoln, Oklahoma, Texas Tech, and Colorado universities and the Cooperative Institute for Mesoscale Meteorological Studies are working on several projects that will help to better predict and monitor tornadoes.
One such effort is Project TORUS (Targeted Observation by Radars and Unmanned Aircraft Systems of Supercells), which will study wind speed, temperature, humidity, and pressure to learn how small-scale structures within a supercell storm can evolve into tornadoes.
