Wind strength is normally measured on the empirical Beaufort wind force scale. This scale relates wind speed and the conditions observed on land and at sea, but it measures wind speed rather than force as it is understood scientifically.

What scale is use to measure the strength of a tornado and how did it gets its name?
The Fujita Scale (replaced by the Enhanced Fujita Scale in 2007) is used to rate the intensity of tornadoes from F0 to F5 based on damage. It gets its name from its creator, Dr. Tetsuya Fujita.
What scale is used to categorize the strength of a tornado?
Tornadoes are rated on the Enhanced Fujita scale.
What is used to measure the strength of tornadoes?
The strength of s tornado is measured on the Enhanced Fujita scale, which uses the severity of the damage a tornado causes to assign an intensity rating, ranging from EF0 for the weakest tornadoes to EF5 for the strongest.
What scale is used to measure very low temperatures?
Any scale can be used; the absolute, rational, thermodynamic based scale is the Kelvin scale.
Would you use a Richter scale to measure a tornado?
No. The Richter scale (since replaced by the Moment Magnitude scale) was used to measure earthquake intensity. The Fujita scale (now the Enhanced Fujita scale in the U.S.) is used to rate tornadoes.
