The Saffir-Simpson scale, that uses wind speed to determine the type (category 1, Category 2, etc.)
Category 1 has the lowest winds and Category 5 hast the highest winds.
Yes
No. The Fujita scale is used to rate the intensity of tornadoes. Hurricanes are rated on the Saffir-Simpson scale.
with there eyes
Scientists can use anemometers and Doppler radar to measure winds directly. It is also possible to estimate wind speeds with satellite imagery of cloud tops.
Some scientists attribute the increase in the strength of hurricanes to climate change. Warmer ocean temperatures fuel the intensity of hurricanes, leading to more powerful storms.
The Fujita scale is only for tornado intensity. Meteorologists use a different wind scale for hurricanes called the Saffir-Simpson scale.
The Fujita scale is used for tornadoes, not hurricanes. It measures tornado intensity based on the damage caused. Scientists use the Saffir-Simpson scale for hurricanes, which categorizes them by wind speed.
To measure temperature, scientists use:KelvinCelsiusFahrenheit.

Warmer tropical oceans
Scientists use seismographs.
Many scientists are blaming the warming of the earth's oceans, a result of anthropogenic climate change, for the documented increase in the strength of hurricanes. The same cannot be said for the frequency of hurricanes, which does not appear to be increasing aside from temporary increases (and decreases) in natural, multi-decadal oscillations.
