Game Changer Research Aims to Forecast Tornadoes

it was a story and deathly spring day across the deep south so through the twenty four-hour loop here almost two hundred tornadoes had occurred and unfortunately over three hundred and fifteen fatalities you know why so many things are these want so much destruction scientists at the university of oklahoma slapped in the middle of tornado alley are looking for better ways to predict might have a foreman some storms but not in others geneseo really strong drop in pressure exacting honey issues strong increase interesting which is the area and instantaneous spent four confirmed for training with support from the national science foundation computer scientist avian the governing is working with meteorologist to better model tornado formation who don't just study reveals store they create super computer simulations analyze how constantly changing storm components interac the problem is that if you need to understand how to spend a whole lot of other dribbles off their there's pressure there's temperatures ended none of the radars and on the current sensing instruments can get that at the resolution we really need to come on we understand perhaps mcgovern called super vast amounts of whether that looking for patter said might be harbingers of the twister in the making won a national interests actually be able to sent all these from a number of every fifteen minutes the gold instead of tornado warnings based on radar or additional citing sunday highly precise so that's good because she based on a numerical forecast mom it's a game changed complete painting so radar leaves off basically with with detecting something it's all repressive the numerical model gives us the opportunity actually projected predicted following if it works will give us the promise of actually predicting a tornado may be one to two hours in advance mcgovern says the key to the success of any next generation system will begin the trust of the year all its who communicate life-and-death warnings to the public at india cassidy really easy to use an insanity deeply they don't want to just they want something injustice here's the problem harnessing super computers to better understand tornadoes more we know that and lives on the line precisely sure i'm miles o'brien
