DOI: 10.1121/1.5035924
Abstract: Tornado-producing storm systems emit infrasound (sound at frequencies below human hearing) up to 2 hours before tornadogenesis. Weak atmospheric attenuation at these frequencies allows them to be detected hundreds of miles away. Hence, passive infrasonic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.aaw9950
Abstract: Ocean temperature anomalies in April influence U.S. tornado frequencies through atmospheric teleconnections and moisture transport. Annual tornado occurrences over North America display large interannual variability and a statistical linkage to sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies.… read more here.
