Tornadoes occur in the United States in the spring mostly, particularly between April and May. What is a downburst and why are they hazardous to airplanes? Downbursts are strong downdrafts with a downward vertical speed exceeding that of an aircraft during landing operations. Can cause the plane to lose height, stall, crash. Formation of a thunderstorm requires vertical lifting of air. Explain the three main mechanisms of air mass lifting that can trigger thunderstorms. There is orographic lifting, where air is lifted over an obstacle, most commonly mountains in Utah; frontal lifting, when a cold air mass pushes a warmer one upward; and convergence, when two air masses collide, and air in between is forced upward. What information from Doppler weather radar helps weather forecasters identify supercell thunderstorms that may give rise to tornadoes? Hook echo, areas of enhanced reflectivity, and a bounded weak echo region. Where is the most dangerous place to be during a tornado (based on the # of deaths that occur)? Long-span buildings, like malls, theaters. Mobile homes are often cited as the most dangerous shelter and account for more than half of all tornado related deaths.
