A dataset related to artificial intelligence paves innovative ways for the detection of tornadoes.

Every spring, tornado season returns to the Northern Hemisphere. While the twisted funnel of a tornado may seem like an easily recognizable sight, it remains difficult for radar -- the primary tool of meteorologists -- to detect as they form. Predicting tornadoes also remains challenging, due to an unclear understanding of why they form. Over…
