New Baron Tornado Index predicts likelihood of twisters
Jan 25, 2008 8:47 AM
Baron Services’ new Baron Tornado Index shows conditions threatening to develop into a tornado about 20 minutes before a tornado struck a school in Caledonia, MS. The BTI ranking was at 4.1 20 minutes prior to touchdown and at 8.1 as the tornado hit.
Baron Services has introduced the Baron Tornado Index (BTI), a tornado detection technology that has been used in more than 100 instances to predict the likelihood of a twister.
The Baron Tornado Index is available to existing Baron Services clients who subscribe to the Advanced Data Service Package at no additional charge. The BTI is a ranking on a scale of 0-10 used to gauge the likelihood of a tornado in any given storm. As the BTI increases, the potential for a tornado within that storm goes up.
Using proprietary algorithms combined with high-resolution radar data and advanced mesoscale models, the Baron Tornado Index provides an easy, one-glance diagnosis for a storm’s tornadic potential.
Interpretation of the BTI can be achieved by clicking on any Baron SCIT or by reading color-coded Baron Shear Markers.
