It is called the Fujita scale, F-0 through F-5.
Meteorologists use the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale to rate the intensity of a tornado. The EF scale ranges from EF0 (weakest) to EF5 (strongest). It takes into account the damage caused by the tornado to estimate its wind speed, as well as the type of structures affected. The scale provides a standardized way to communicate the strength of a tornado to the public.
The Fujita scale uses the severity of the damage a tornado causes to determine its rating.
There is no particular tool. Scientists usually use a subjective analysis of the damage a tornado causes to estimate its wind speed and then assign a rating. In rare instances a wind measurement may be obtained using Doppler radar, but even when such measurements are obtained the usually aren't used in the rating as radar cannot measure winds near ground level where damage occurs.
The Fujita scale is used to rate the intensity of tornadoes based on the severity of the damage they cause. It ranges from F0 at the weakest to F5 at the strongest.
There are a few major issues. First, it is very difficult to get wind measurments from within a tornado, especially at ground level. Damage is used as a proxy for wind speed. As a result, tornadoes that don't hit much are difficult to rate. Third, we are not exactly sure how well our wind estimates correspond with damage.
The strength of gravity on or near the Earth's surfaceis 9.81 Newtons (2.205 pounds) per kilogram of mass.That force causes any freely falling body to accelerate verticallyat the rate of 9.81 meters (32.2 feet) per second2 .
Tornado strength is assessed on the Enhanced Fujita scale. It is not so much a tool as a set of guidelines. Meteorologists and engineers survey the damage done my a tornado, using it to estimate the wind speed at various points along the path. The highest wind speed is used to assign a rating, ranging from EF0 for the weakest tornadoes to EF5 for the strongest.
The Fujita scale uses the severity of the damage a tornado causes to determine its rating.
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 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.
To rate a tornado, scientists analyze the damage the tornadoes does to estimate wind speed. This is then used to assign a rating, which may range from F0 to F5 (EF0 to EF5 as of 2007).

No. Hurricanes are classified on the Saffir-Simpson scale. The Fujita scale is used to rate tornadoes.
Meteorologists and engineers examine the damage done by a tornado a rate if from EF0 to EF5 based on how severe the damage is. EF0 and EF1 (light to moderate damage) tornadoes are considered weak. EF2 and EF3 tornadoes are classified as strong. EF4 and EF5 tornadoes are classified as violent.
The relationship between light intensity and photosynthetic rate is that if the intensity of the light is high then the rate of photosynthesis will increase. However the rate of photosynthesis will only increase to an extent after intensity of light reaches a certain point photosynthesis rate will stay still.
The Greensburg tornado was an EF5, the strongest category of tornado.
By changing the light intensity the rate of photosynthesis will either increase or decrease because it is one of the factors that affects photosynthesis. If you increase the light intensity the rate increases but if you decrease the light intensity the rate decreases.
Intensity (W/m^2)= Watts / (4* pi* distance from bulb in meters^2) Intensity can then be compared to rate of photosynthesis at different distances.
