I don't study tornadoes but I have watched a few shows of tornado/storm chasers.They do seem to be doing a risky but fascinating work in order to study tornadoes/storms.

If you don't mind answering...
Are you studying at the moment?If you are, is it related to your interest in tornadoes?

I found some more links which could be useful to your search.

I was a grad student in environmental sciences back in the mid-70s. You need either a master's degree (MS) or a doctorate (PhD) to do this kind of work. Most positions in the United States will be either with universities (typically physics or environmental science departments), or a government agency like NASA or NOAA. The best jobs will go to those with a PhD. If you're not in the USA, things may be somewhat different.

It's a very mathematical field. I'd suggest a college major in physics with a solid background in mathematics and computer science would be excellent preparation for the graduate work. With an MS degree (two years beyond the undergrad degree), you will be able to find employment as a researcher, but not with a BA or BS degree.
