A Naval Academy professor recently received a grant from the National Science Foundation to continue research that could lead to a model for predicting tornado activity in the U.S. Oceanography Professor Brad Barretts research was also published in the most recent edition of Geophysical Research Letters, a leading scientific journal in the meteorological, oceanography, and geosciences communities. There is currently no ability to predict tornado activity with statistical confidence beyond five or six days. To be able to do that would be useful for emergency planners in areas potentially affected by large-scale weather events such as tornadoes, said Barrett.
