Faster, More Accurate Tornado Predictions

Caption

An analysis of tornado signatures from the past 16 years -- including data from the Ontario-Quebec VHF Windprofiler Radar Network -- could mean faster, more accurate tornado prediction. Pictured here with antenna elements at a nearby radar array: researchers Anna Hocking, a Western University alumna and Ph.D., and Professor Wayne Hocking, who leads the Atmospheric Dynamics Group based at Western's Department of Physics and Astronomy.
