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 else can I help you with?
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 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 the name of the weather instrument used to measure wind?
Speed: anemometer. Direction: wind vane
What is a name of the instrument used to measure the amount of rain that has fallen?
A rain gauge is the instrument used to measure the amount of rain that has fallen. It consists of a cylindrical container with a measurement scale to collect and quantify the rainfall.
What is a name for a funnel cloud touching the ground?
A funnel cloud that touches the ground is commonly known as a tornado.
Name of the instrument used for measuring intensity of tornado?

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 In the U.s. it has been replaced by the Enhanced Fujita scale, which, similarly, runs from EF0 to EF5.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 thye name of the instrument to measure wind?
The name of this instrument is anemometer.
What scale is use to measure the strength of a tornado and how did it gets its name?
The Fujita Scale (replaced by the Enhanced Fujita Scale in 2007) is used to rate the intensity of tornadoes from F0 to F5 based on damage. It gets its name from its creator, Dr. Tetsuya Fujita.
What is the name of the unit used to measure the intensity of a sound?
a decibel
What is the name of instrument which measure the breathing rate?
Spirograph
What are the name of the instrument used to measure time?
Timepieces.
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.
