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.

When is the start of tornado season and the end of the season?

Unlike hurricane season there are not official limits to tornado season. However, generally tornado season lasts from lat march though June. However significant tornado outbreaks can occur at almost any time of year.


What limits are there to the observations that scientist can make?

Scientists are limited by the capabilities of their equipment and technology, as well as by their own biases and limitations in perception. Additionally, natural phenomena may be inherently unpredictable or chaotic, which can also pose limits on what observations can be made.


How can fog affect the visibility?

Fog reduces visibility by scattering and absorbing light, making objects appear blurred or obscured. The thicker the fog, the greater the reduction in visibility it causes. This can be dangerous for drivers, pilots, and pedestrians as it limits their ability to see clearly.


How does observation limit the what scientist can study?

Observation limits what scientists can study by confining their focus to phenomena that can be directly perceived or measured. Many aspects of the natural world, such as subatomic particles or certain theoretical constructs, may be beyond current observational capabilities. Additionally, reliance on observation can introduce biases, as scientists may prioritize observable data over theoretical or conceptual frameworks that could yield valuable insights. Consequently, this can restrict the development of a more comprehensive understanding of complex systems.

Why can't scientists get exact measurements of wind speeds inside tornadoes?

They can, it's just difficult. The only way to get an exact measurement of the wind speed you actually have to get a probe inside of the tornado. Such a task requires driving out in front of a tornado, dropping the probe, and getting out before the tornado hits. In many cases the probe is not in exactly the right place, and tornado misses, if there is an opportunity to place the probe at all. It is possible to get an approximate measurement of a tornado's wind speed by positioning a mobile Doppler radar near it. Such units are limited, however, as they can only measure the component of the wind velocity that is directly toward or away from the radar and cannot measure winds at ground level. Doppler radars are also expensive, so relatively few of them exist. On top of these limits, the radar still has to be in the right place at the right time, which is also hard to do. As a result, the vast majority of tornadoes go without their wind speeds being measured.
