They can use planes to fly above, into, and around the hurricane. They can also use satellites to track the  temperature of the oceans' surfaces. Weather radars are also used to read precipitation intensity and movement and a variety of wind data. Buoys and floats can provide information about the water's surface and below such as air and water temperature, wave height, and wind direction and speed. Finally, they use computer models to track and predict the movement and behavior of the storm. A  hurricane can only be predicted within several days of making landfall. noaa.gov]]> 2018-02-05 16:56:38 UTC https://padlet.com/masaro1/wjudeizqsk4i/wish/228220532 Jonathan Wen https://padlet.com/masaro1/wjudeizqsk4i/wish/228221116 Meteorologists predict tornadoes buy using a computer forecast model. These can determine whether or not the conditions are right for a tornado if it follows certain set rules. However, if the weather breaks the set rules then meteorologists can use ensemble forecasting. This will run several models at once to determine if there will be a tornado. These tornadoes can be predicted a few weeks in advance. noaa.gov insurancejournal.com]]> 2018-02-05 16:57:32 UTC https://padlet.com/masaro1/wjudeizqsk4i/wish/228221116 Hurricanes are named after people because it helps people remember the hurricane. The names of the hurricane also help people communicate. A tropical storm develops into a hurricane when wind speeds reach 74 miles per hour thats when it gets its name. https://padlet.com/masaro1/wjudeizqsk4i/wish/228715512 Kyle Kapcsos]]> 2018-02-06 16:55:07 UTC https://padlet.com/masaro1/wjudeizqsk4i/wish/228715512 James Gengerke https://padlet.com/masaro1/wjudeizqsk4i/wish/228720870 Tornadoes are uncommon in New Jersey because of the land. In New Jersey there is no stretch of land big enough for a tornadoes to form. The few tornadoes that have ever been in New Jersey formed from other storms. The other storm started the tornado and then it just did the damage. The weather can also affect tornadoes and the weather just doesn't occur in New Jersey. The weather needed is a wind shear present with warm air lower than the cold air.

Areas where tornadoes form and where storms are occurring is where they watch for a starting tornado. The conditions for a tornado typically last four to six hours and can form anywhere in between there. These predictions are not very long in advance like hurricanes but tornadoes form randomly at any moment during a storm. They can't predict something without proof.

Hurricanes used to be named from the latitude and longitude of the storm’s position. The World Meteorological Organization tried to use actual names because "naming storms made it easier for the media to report." In turn, the decision to name hurricanes has heightened interest in warnings and increased community preparation ahead of the storms. Tornadoes aren’t named because they only last so long. So by the time the tornado was named it would already be gone.

Scientists can also predict the number of named storms and their breakdown by the intensity (the number of hurricanes, tropical storms, intense hurricanes, etc.).  They can predict the approximate wind speeds and intensity for sustained winds. These can be calculated using elementary statistics. Once a hurricane has formed, it can be tracked.  Scientists can usually predict the Hurricane’s path 3-5 days in advance. Mit.edu]]> 2018-02-07 14:16:39 UTC https://padlet.com/masaro1/wjudeizqsk4i/wish/229099291 Megha Ganne https://padlet.com/masaro1/wjudeizqsk4i/wish/229197554 http://web.mit.edu/12.000/www/m2010/teams/neworleans1/predicting%20hurricanes.htm: 

At the beginning of hurricane season, scientists can predict approximately how many storms will be formed. Also, they can predict wind speeds and the intensity of these winds.  Once a hurricane is formed, it can easily be tracked. Hurricanes can be tracked up to 3-5 days before they hit land. Meteorologists can use different models in order to predict the path of a hurricane. Predicting hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean is actually harder than anywhere else in the world. This is because there are fewer intensity models for hurricanes that hit landfall in the Atlantic Ocean.

People name hurricanes to reduce confusion when there is more than one tropical storm. In the past, there were situations where people were put into more danger because false information was spread about the wrong hurricane. This was a way to make it easier for the media to report, and easier for the public to understand. Tornadoes happen with only some time for a warning, so there isn't much time to name them. There are so many more tornadoes than hurricanes in a year, that naming them seemed confusing.

For example, Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Sandy are highly memorable for all residents across the east coast of the US.  Another reason hurricanes have names is because meteorologists named them so they’re easier to talk about between everyday people.  Tornadoes do not get names because they are ‘not as special’ as hurricanes.

That is why the area known as tornado alley experiences so many tornadoes; because those states are very close to and many of them even share a border with the Gulf of Mexico and the Rocky Mountains. Since the state of New Jersey is much farther away from the Gulf of Mexico and the Rocky Mountains, we are not in the direct path of the air when it meets and we do not get as many tornadoes.  ]]> 2018-02-07 22:37:38 UTC https://padlet.com/masaro1/wjudeizqsk4i/wish/229361185 Katherine Roytman https://padlet.com/masaro1/wjudeizqsk4i/wish/229370621 About 13 hurricanes occur around the world each year. Sometimes more, sometimes less; it depends on the year. Hurricanes form tornadoes because they bring warm, moist air with them, which acts as their fuel and this causes an instability in the atmosphere. When this warm, moist air is met with cooler, more dry air, the warm air wants to rise and the cool air wants to fall. But, because of the winds from the hurricane, the warm air rising creates an upwards vortex of strong winds, which is a tornado. ]]> 2018-02-07 23:27:05 UTC https://padlet.com/masaro1/wjudeizqsk4i/wish/229370621 Cassie Schmidt https://padlet.com/masaro1/wjudeizqsk4i/wish/229398770 Hurricanes are named after people because there may be several active hurricanes at the same time. They need to name the hurricane so they won’t get confused with what hurricane someone is talking about. Also, if there is a really severe and dangerous hurricane, we can have a way to remember the really important and worse ones. Scientists don’t name tornadoes because they occur less often than hurricanes and they don’t last as long as hurricanes. Only the most powerful tornadoes are named because they may kill some people and do a lot of damage. Compared to how important and necessary names are for hurricanes, they aren’t as needed for tornadoes.

Tornadoes that do occur in the winter are especially dangerous because they mostly from in the dark, which results in less warning time. Also, people usually don’t prepare for tornadoes during the offseason, so tornadoes in the winter can cause a lot of trouble. There have only been four recorded tornado events in Alaska since 1950. You can see that tornadoes are very rare in cold places like Alaska. Places near Texas have more occurring tornadoes than very cold places.

Giving them these names makes it easier to communicate to other people about them. In addition, tornadoes are not given names. This is because there are way too many tornadoes each year in the U.S. to name every one of them. Also, tornadoes only last for a short amount of time, between 15-20 min. By the time they name it, the tornado will already be over. Names are usually only given to long lasting storms. People need to have as much time as possible to find shelter and prepare for this, so adding another thing to the warning list, the name, will just create more confusion and chaos.

These winter tornadoes are sometimes more deadly than normal tornadoes because they move faster. In addition, tornadoes in Alaska are uncommon and very rare. There has only been about 1 tornado there, which did not kill or injure anyone. They are very rare because tornadoes usually form when warm, moist are combine with cool air, and Alaska is almost always cold. Due to the weather in Alaska, there is no warm air that can collide with the cool air.

It wasn’t always named after people it used to be named after the coordinates of where the storm happened. The World Meteorological Organization decided to use actual names also for the reason being that it has heightened more interest in preparing for the storm. I guess this leads to why tornadoes do not get named after people because scientists or news reporters might not have thought of it. It would probably be a good idea to do this though because then more people would be prepared like when a hurricane is about to strike.

These tornadoes are most common to hit New Jersey, or states close to us, in the months of June and July which is in the summer. The reason for this is that tornadoes form when cold dry air and warm moist air come together which will most likely happen during that time of the year. Like mentioned before, just because it doesn’t seem like it occurs often, it can still come strike us.
