Abstract
Research on the characteristics of atmospherics peculiar to tornadoes has been in progress at the Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College since 1947. It has been discovered that high-energy thunderstorms which develop into tornadoes generate discharges with a preponderance of frequencies in the 200- to- 400-kc band. The number of these discharges increases as tornado time is approached.
