Wind speed is the determining factor for the Saffir-Simpson rating (Category 1-5). This can be measure with an anemometer or estimated based on satellite imagery.
Another measure of intensity is barometric pressure, which is measure with a barometer.
The Fujita scale is only for tornado intensity. Meteorologists use a different wind scale for hurricanes called the Saffir-Simpson scale.
No, scientists can't make a hurricane change direction. As it is, we still have trouble even predicting the path a hurricane will take. We are not even on the level of influencing what a hurricane will do.
Scientists use a rain gauge to measure rainfall. A rain gauge collects and measures the amount of liquid precipitation over a certain period of time, usually in millimeters or inches. This data helps scientists understand weather patterns and climate trends.
Scientists use sound waves to measure the depth of the ocean through a method called sonar. By sending sound pulses from a ship to the ocean floor and measuring the time it takes for the sound waves to bounce back, scientists can calculate the depth of the ocean at that location.
Hurricane hunters drop instruments called dropsondes into hurricanes to measure wind, temperature, and pressure. These dropsondes are released from the aircraft and collect data as they fall through the storm, transmitting it back to the aircraft for analysis.

The Fujita scale is only for tornado intensity. Meteorologists use a different wind scale for hurricanes called the Saffir-Simpson scale.
No. The Fujita scale is used to rate the intensity of tornadoes. Hurricanes are rated on the Saffir-Simpson scale.
Scientists can use anemometers and Doppler radar to measure winds directly. It is also possible to estimate wind speeds with satellite imagery of cloud tops.
Scientists use seismographs.
To measure temperature, scientists use:KelvinCelsiusFahrenheit.
