How do you measure the intensity of a tornado?
The intensity of a tornado is typically measured using the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale, which ranks tornadoes from EF0 (weakest) to EF5 (strongest) based on estimated wind speeds and resulting damage. Meteorologists analyze the level of damage to structures and vegetation caused by the tornado to determine its intensity.
What is the name of the instrument used to measure the intensity of a tornado?
In most cases the intensity of a tornado is never actually measured. Tornadoes are rated based on the severity of the damage they cause. Mobile Doppler radar can measure wind speeds in a tornado, but since such radar cannot measure ground-level winds the measurements are not used in ratings.
How do F5 tornadoes form from a F1 tornado?
An F5 tornado does not form directly from an F1 tornado. Tornado intensity is determined by the Enhanced Fujita Scale based on wind speeds and damage. It is possible for a tornado to rapidly intensify due to various atmospheric conditions, leading to an increase in intensity from an F1 to an F5 tornado.
Name of the instrument used for measuring intensity of tornado?
There is no particular instrument used for measuring tornado intensity. Ratings are based primarily on damage assessment. Occasionally doppler radar has measure wind speeds inside a tornado, but such measurements are rare.
What is the abbr for electric intensity?
The abbreviation for electric intensity is " I " the intensity is measured in amps using an ammeter.
How can a tornado's strength be measured?
The intensity of a tornado is estimated based on the severity of the damage it inflicts.
When a tornado is measured is it from the cloud or on the ground?
The intensity of a tornado is rated based on damage done on the ground.
What machine is used to determine the intensity a tornado?
No machine is used. The intensity of a tornado is determined by a visual survey of the damage.
How strong is a tornado before it hits the ground?
At ground level, there is no intensity. At higher elevetions the intensity is less than after the tornado has touched down. When a tornado touches down, it is no longer able to draw in air from below. This causes the pressure in the core of the vortex to drop, leading to an increase in wind speed.

Does human activity cause or contribute to development or intensity of tornado?
Currently there is no known connection between human activity and tornado formation and intensity.
Who is the author of the tornado intensity and damage?
If you are referring to the Fujita scale, which rates tornado intensity base on damage, its inventor is Dr. Tetsuya Fujita.
Relative intensity is measured in units abbreviated as?
Relative intensity is measured in decibels and is abbreviated dB.
Is a tornado's width measured at the top or bottom?
A tornado's width is measured at bottom, usually by the width of the damage path.
How do F5 tornadoes form from a F1 tornado?
An F5 tornado does not form directly from an F1 tornado. Tornado intensity is determined by the Enhanced Fujita Scale based on wind speeds and damage. It is possible for a tornado to rapidly intensify due to various atmospheric conditions, leading to an increase in intensity from an F1 to an F5 tornado.
What property of a tornado is measured by the fujita scale?
The severity of the damage. It is a common misconception that it measure wind speed, but in truth, wind speed estimated based on the damage.
