= Baron Tornado Index
{wiki=Baron_Tornado_Index}
The Baron Tornado Index (BTI) is a numerical scale developed to assess the likelihood of tornado formations. It is named after Dr. Alan Baron, who contributed to the development of this index as part of his research in meteorology. The BTI takes into account various atmospheric parameters, such as wind speed, moisture content, and instability within the atmosphere, to provide a more quantitative measure of tornado risk compared to traditional qualitative methods.
