Wind speed is usually estimated based on the severity of damage that the tornado causes. In some cases it is measured by Doppler radar or, rarely, with an anemometer inside the tornado.
A tornado's rating is determined by damage, which is used to estimate the tornado's peak wind speed.
Tornado ratings are determined based on the severity of the damage a tornado inflicts, which is in turn used to estimate wind speed.
The intensity of a tornado is determined by damage. Damage is examined and the tornado's peak wind speed is estimated. This is used to rate it on the Enhanced Fujita Scale which ranges from EF0 as the weakest to EF5 as the strongest.
The wind speed of a tornado is inferred from the severity of the damage it inflicts.
The intensity of a tornado is determined by damage, wchi is used to estimate wind speed and assign it a rating from EF0 (weakest) to EF5 (strongest)
Tornado intensity is determined by damage, which is used to estimate wind speed. These wind speed estimates are used to sort a tornado into one of six categories from EF0 to EF5.
A tornado's rating is determined by damage, which is used to estimate the tornado's peak wind speed.
Tornado ratings are determined based on the severity of the damage a tornado inflicts, which is in turn used to estimate wind speed.
The speed and direction of a tornado can be determined using Doppler radar by measuring how far the tornado moves between sweeps and in what direction.
The intensity of a tornado is determined by damage. Damage is examined and the tornado's peak wind speed is estimated. This is used to rate it on the Enhanced Fujita Scale which ranges from EF0 as the weakest to EF5 as the strongest.
The wind speed of a tornado is inferred from the severity of the damage it inflicts.
The intensity of a tornado is determined by damage, wchi is used to estimate wind speed and assign it a rating from EF0 (weakest) to EF5 (strongest)
The estimated wind speed of an EF0 tornado is 65-85 mph.
In most cases the wind speed of a tornado is estimated based on the severity of the damage it causes.
The actual maximum wind speed for a tornado is not known. The strongest wind ever recorded in a tornado was 302 mph.
Its called the enhanced fujita scale...it measures from an EF0 to an EF5 how fast the tornado was spinning. The wind speed is determined by examining damage.
Scientists usually use the severity of the damage a tornado causes to estimate its wind speed.
