    Abstract: he fundamental purpose of this research is to highlight the spatial seasonality of tornado risk. This requires the use of objective methods to determine the appropriate spatial extent of the bandwidth used to calculate tornado density values (i.e., smoothing the raw tornado data). With the understanding that a smoothing radius depends partially upon the period of study, the next step is to identify objectively ideal periods of tornado analysis. To avoid decisions about spatial or temporal boundaries, this project makes use of storm speed and tornado pathlength data, along with statistical cluster analysis, to establish tornado seasons that display significantly different temporal and spatial patterns. This method yields four seasons with unique characteristics of storm speed and tornado pathlength.The results show that the ideal bandwidth depends partially upon the temporal analysis period and the lengths of the tornadoes studied. Hence, there is not a ?one size fits all,? but the bandwidth can be quantitatively chosen for a given dataset. Results from this research, based upon tornado data for 1950?2011, yield ideal bandwidths ranging from 55 to 180 km. The ideal smoothing radii are then applied via a kernel density analysis of each new tornado season.
