Professor to Testify on Tornadoes
A University of Kansas professor will testify tomorrow before the House Committee on Science and Aeronautics on current issues about tornadoes and understorms.
Joe R. Eagleman, associate professor of geography, will testify at hearings of the Congressional committee in Kansas City, Mo.
The hearings are in connection with a proposed bill to provide $10 million for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to research violent storms.
"The committee will discuss the state of the art and our current understanding of
thunderstorms and tornadoes," Eagleman said this week.
One major finding of Eaglemans' research was that the northeast corner of a basement is the safest place to be during a hurricane. It could also be that the southwest corner was the safest.
"I think people ought to be better informed about this," Eagleran said.
Eagleman's research was based partly on tornadoes created in his laboratory. By rotating air and causing an updraft in the center of rotation, Eagleman said, he
Eagleman said that by moving surfaces of different compositions under the laboratory tornadoes, he had reproduced a new type of tornadoes produced when moving over land.
created tornados up to eight feet tall, the height of the lab.
"Instead of the tornado moving over the land, we moved the surface against the tornado and produced the same results," he said.
