- Abstract
Tornado hazards have caused frequent and severe damages to built environment and lives. The severity of the hazards directly relates to the strength of the tornadic events in terms of meteorological parameters, as well as the resistance of buildings to the strong tornadic impacts. The tornado hazards are reviewed from both meteorological and engineering perspectives in this study. For each of the perspectives, current status of tornado hazard studies including the observation, monitoring, analysis, numerical and laboratory simulations, and limitations and future demands of development are discussed. While the two disciplines are fast advancing individually, their interaction and interdependence are deemed prominent and imperative in the future interdisciplinary studies.
