Velocity= a speed and a direction

The speed is 15 km/hr

You still need a direction to make a velocity.

What do you to know to determine the velocity of a 15 km an hour storm?

You need to know its direction. Put that togetherwith the speed, and you'll have the velocity.


If a storm is moving at 15 kmhr what is needed for the velocity?

Velocity is a vector quantity. That means it must have direction as well as speed. 15 kph due West for instance.


Why would it be important to velocity instead of speed when you describe how a storm is moving?

Velocity as opposed to speed is a vector and is therefore much more useful. For example when driving in a car your speedometer tells you your speed in Mph or KMph. This however does not give you information on where you are going, it only tells you how fast. You could be going north, south, east or west. Velocity on the other hand is a vector, which means it gives you direction and magnitude. So you know the car's speed and direction. Therefore velocity is more important in describing how a storm is moving because it tells you where the storm is going and how fast it is going.

How does a Doppler radar determine the direction a storm is moving?

The Doppler part only detects motion towards and/or away from the radar antenna. To find a direction of travel (on any radar) you must watch the object (such as a storm) over time and watch it move. To find motion by doppler the radar must detect the frequency difference of the return signal - there will be a (very) small increase if the object is moving closer (and lower if moving away).


Where in a hurricane do the strongets winds occur?

The strongest winds in a hurricane in the northern hemisphere are found on the right side of the storm...this is with respect to the direction the storm is moving. For instance, if the storm is moving north, the right side would be the eastern side of the storm. This is reversed in the southern hemisphere.


Are tornadoes a mesoscale storm?

No. A tornado is a microscale storm, as very few tornadoes get to be over 2 kilometers in diameter.
