BOSAI: Science that Can Save Your Life - Season 1 Episode 10 Tornadoes
0.00 15 minutes Japan experiences an average of 23 tornadoes per year. They often cause serious damage when they strike in populated areas such as plains or along the sea. Tornadoes are also considered the most difficult type of weather phenomenon to predict, with few effective countermeasures available. Now, research is underway to capture the process of tornado formation using the latest radar, and to predict tornadoes using data from ground-based observation equipment. We'll take a closer look at the latest developments in tornado research and new efforts underway to protect lives.
