Scientists Devising New Tools To Give Warnings on Tornadoes , Thundty, Mar J WI . MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE HTW Washington "Tornado Al ley," the incubator of nature's deadlist storms, is being watch ed this year as never before. Once a twister has bored down to earth, the only defense is to get out of the way. To save more lives. Weather Bureau scientists are devising new tools to quick en warning systems and learn more about the nature of the complex storms. One new Instrument forces potential tornadoes to flash their own alarm. Called a "pressure- jump indicator," it records the ominous rise in pressure that often signals the birth of a tor nado in storm-breeding squall lines. Round-the-Clock Altrt It is these long forntiers of thunder, wind, and rain that turn unstable air currents into roaring, spinning funnels of de struction. This year, more than 100 pres-fure-jump indicators are bein? operated in the severe storm belt Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas. The Instruments have been set up in police stations, fire houses, city jails, and other places where attendants volun tarily keep an eye on them 24 hours a day. If barometric pressure rises uddenly, a light goes on and a buzzer sounds until turned off. The observer alerts the nearest weather station by telephone, Radar then starts tracking the dangerous squall line, according to Dr. Morris Tepper, chief of the Bureau's severe-storms re search unit. In recent years, the Bureau has organized a radar network among key cities east of the Rockies. Volunteer ground cor- psmen in a danger zone scan radarscopes for any sign of the dark pendent cloud that rakes the earth like a giant elephant's trunk. Spotters notify communities, which warn residents to take cover. One obstacle in learning more about the mechanism of tor nadoes is their habit of striking quickly, devastatingly, and local ly. Delicate instruments can't withstand 500-mile - an - hour winds. Few persons caught In a twister can be expected to give a scientific account of what they ee even if they live through it. Pilot James Cook, who flies under contract to the Bureau, is again storm-hopping out of Kansas City this season. Cook ventures Into squall lines in a plane laden with Instruments to "V i BEWARE or IMITATMS LOOK Ok THI HAPPY umi coo TOPS IN QUALITY!

Forked lighting vividly out lined with yellow, green, blue, and purple often dances against the dull glow of continuous sheet lightning.

If two stations spot it, the storm can be pin-pointed by triangulation. Spring brings tornado weath er. Though factors are numer ous, the time is ripe then cold, dry frosts moving easterly from the Pacific overrun warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico. Under certain conditions, the slightest updraft may trigger one or a series of twisters.
