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.
What is the name of the scale used to rate tornado damage?
Tornado damage has traditionally been rated on the Fujita scale. However, the United States and Canada now rate tornado damage on the similar Enhanced Fujita scale.
What is a name for a funnel cloud touching the ground?
A funnel cloud that touches the ground is commonly known as a tornado.
Has there ever been a tornado or hurricane with the name Sheila?

What is the name of the instrument used for measuring natural disasters?
There is no single instrument as there are different types of natural disasters with different things that can be measured. Anemometers, barometers, and rain gauges can measure wind, pressure and rainfall in storms. A seismometer can measure the intensity of a earthquake.
What is the name giving to a instrument for measuring pressure?
The instrument used for measuring pressure is called a manometer.
What is the name of an instrument for measuring voltage?
A volt meter
What is the name of the scale used to measure the intensity of a tornado?
The most well, known scale is the Fujita scale, which runs from F0 to F5. In the U.s. it has been replaced by the Enhanced Fujita scale, which, similarly, runs from EF0 to EF5.
What is the name of the instrument for measuring slope angles?
The instrument used for measuring slope angles is called an inclinometer or clinometer. An inclinometer typically measures the angle of a slope relative to a horizontal plane, while a clinometer can also be used for measuring angles of elevation or depression. Both tools are essential in fields such as surveying, geology, and construction.
What job uses a meter?
Meter is the general name for any measuring instrument. Such as an electricity meter, or an odometer on your car. But if you mean the metre as in measuring systems, then surveyors, mountaineers, engineers, and so on.
