  5. The actual term for someone that studies Tornados and all weather phenomena are known as Research Meteorologist.

    A Research Meteorologist is one that works in the field of atmospheric research this includes Tornados, Hurricanes (tropicle cyclones) and all other types of weather not just Tornados although the study of Tornados is a specific area of study. They are still Research Meteorologists.

    I know this first hand as I am a member of Skywarn which works directly with the National Weather Service.

    An example of a research meteorologist is probably the most famous of all is a person who the F and now the Enhanced F-Scale was named after Dr. Ted Fujita.

  6. There is no specific title for someone who studies only tornadoes. Meteorologists are people who study the Earth's atmosphere and that may include a plethora of topics ranging from winter weather, tropical weather, severe weather and others. There are numerous research facilities that dedicate their resources toward studying different aspects of severe weather including tornadoes through field projects. These projects may include placing weather instruments in the path of tornadoes or attaining Doppler radar data of a tornado.

    These are some facilities that conduct such research...

    National Severe Storm Laboratory http://www.nssl.noaa.gov/

    Center for Severe Weather Research http://www.cswr.org/

    Center for Analysis and Prediction of Storms http://www.caps.ou.edu/forecasts.htm
