Whats the story with seismic detection of tornadoes?
This is also something I don’t know much about. The concept of seismic detection of tornadoes is based on the hypothesis that tornadoes create some sort of distinctive seismic signature; that is, waves that propagate in the solid earth. A Website describing it briefly can be found here. Seismic tornado detectors are being marketed by a private company. I can’t comment about the efficacy of seismic tornado detection .. it’s not yet been the subject of a thorough scientific test by an independent researcher, and no substantive evaluation of the system has appeared in the refereed scientific literature. My advice is: caveat emptor!
