In some cases, Doppler radar is used to measure winds inside a tornado. However, as these measurements are rare and cannot scan ground-level winds, they are not used in ratings. The intensity rating is determined based on analysis of damage.
A sound level meter measures the intensity of sound in decibels. It consists of a microphone to capture the sound and a display to show the measured levels.
The tornado intensity scale is based on the Enhanced Fujita Scale (EF-Scale), which measures a tornado's intensity based on the damage it causes to structures and vegetation. The scale ranges from EF0 (weakest) to EF5 (strongest) based on the estimated wind speeds required to cause the observed damage.
Yes, the Fujita scale measures the intensity of a tornado based on the damage it causes. It rates tornadoes on a scale from F0 (weakest) to F5 (strongest) based on the estimated wind speeds and extent of damage.
The factors affecting tornado intensity are not fully understood. But an increase in the intensity of the parent thunderstorm, often from encountering warmer, moister air can cause a tornado to intensify.
Tornadoes are measured on the Enhanced Fujita Scale (EF Scale), not the Richter scale. The EF Scale classifies tornadoes based on the damage they cause, ranging from EF0 (weakest) to EF5 (most intense), considering factors like wind speed and destruction to estimate the tornado's strength.
Luxmeter measures luminous intensity. The SI unit of luminous intensity is candela (cd).
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.

A sound level meter measures the intensity of sound in decibels. It consists of a microphone to capture the sound and a display to show the measured levels.
A seismograph records the intensity measured by the Ritcher Scale.
A pyranometer is the instrument used for measuring the intensity of sunlight. It measures the total solar radiation flux density in watts per square meter.
A seismograph is the instrument used for recording the intensity and duration of an earthquake. It detects and measures the motion and vibrations of the ground caused by seismic waves.
The tornado intensity scale is based on the Enhanced Fujita Scale (EF-Scale), which measures a tornado's intensity based on the damage it causes to structures and vegetation. The scale ranges from EF0 (weakest) to EF5 (strongest) based on the estimated wind speeds required to cause the observed damage.
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.
Yes. A photometer is an instrument that measures the intensity of the incoming light and quantifies it into numerical data. A photometer is a light sensitive device and measure the power of light.
Yes, the Fujita scale measures the intensity of a tornado based on the damage it causes. It rates tornadoes on a scale from F0 (weakest) to F5 (strongest) based on the estimated wind speeds and extent of damage.
The Fujita scale really measure only one thing: the intensity of a tornado based on damage severity.
