This was carried out by accessing the relevant literature, analysing, re-analysing and comparing the data on tornado occurrence from various sources. The investigation was aimed at those countries/regions were little information is available. In addition to the literature survey, nearly 30 Weather Monitoring Authorities in various countries throughout the world were contacted. For some countries/regions a more detailed description of tornado occurrences than that found in the literature, was obtained. Several discrepancies between various sources of information were also identified. In addition to South Africa, contour maps of the mean rate of occurrence for France, Austria and Australia were developed However to conclude discrepancies earlier mentioned about various sources of information and countries has been highlighted. More cooperative efforts in this respect, especially in Europe, would be necessary. In fact, as one of the outcomes of the present research, a joint initiative between Hungarian and Austrian Weather Monitoring Authorities will be undertaken.271182 bytesapplication/pdfenCopyright: 1998 Elsevier Science LtdTornado occurence investigationsWeather monitoring authoritiesTornado climatologyGeosciencesArticleGoliger, A.
