Why is Ted Fujita so important to weather science?
Tetsuya "Ted" Fujita made a number of important discoveries and advancements in the study of extreme weather. He is most well-known for his creation of the Fujita scale, the first and most well-known scale for rating tornadoes, running from F0 for the weakest tornadoes to F5 for the strongest. Fujita is also largely responsible for the discovery of subvortices in tornadoes, a phenomenon that hid right under scientists' noses for over a century. Fujita also coinded the term "microburst" in reference to small-scale but violent downdrafts that are responsible for a large portion of thunderstorm wind damage. Fujita also documented small-scale vortices during hurricanes, not unlike the subvortices in tornadoes.
