BeauDodson Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Joseph Kerski has created several tornado-based activities and created 16 videos that might be of use as the tornado season has begun in North America. Videos: Start with http://www.youtube.com/esriedteam and search on 'tornado'. You will see a series of videos that have to do with each of the 3 activities described below. Investigating Historical and 1 Modern Tornado http://edcommunity.esri.com/arclessons/ ... cfm?id=564 In this activity, you will use ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Explorer Online and spatial analysis in 2 activities to investigate historical tornadoes across the USA, and 1 modern-day tornado, the one that occurred in Tuscaloosa, Alabama during April 2011. Objectives: Work with data and maps to understand the distribution and impact of tornadoes in the USA and the impact of a single tornado. Level: This activity can be used at a variety of levels from to secondary extending into university level. Activity: Can be run in a lab setting or with 1 computer and projector in a discussion-led investigation.

In this activity, you will (1) examine a predetermined single day of tornado, wind, and hail in the USA using ArcGIS Desktop 10 software (22 April 2011), and (2) download and examine a different day of tornado, wind, and hail data of your own choosing. You will also use spatial statistics to help understand the pattern of the tornadoes, and you will also compare the pattern of your 1-day of tornadoes to historical tornadoes. Investigating Historical Tornadoes Using ArcGIS http://edcommunity.esri.com/arclessons/ ... cfm?id=565 Work with data and maps in this activity using ArcGIS to understand the spatial and temporal distribution of tornadoes in the USA across multiple decades. Use maps, graphs, and tables to perform deep inquiry on tornado touchdowns and tracks, discovering seasonal, daily, elevation, proximity to cities, and other patterns. Joseph Kerski Joseph J.
