The Rating Scales for Measuring Tornado Intensity and Damage Including the Fujita Scale, the Enhanced Fujita Scale, and the Torro Scale by Patrick Sing (Paperback, 2012)
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Tornadoes vary in intensity regardless of shape, size, and location, though strong tornadoes are typically larger than weak tornadoes. The association with track length and duration also varies, although longer track tornadoes tend to be stronger. In the case of violent tornadoes, only a small portion of the path area is of violent intensity, most of the higher intensity is from subvortices. The Fujita scale and the Enhanced Fujita Scale rate tornadoes by damage caused. Doppler radar data, photogrammetry, and ground swirl patterns may also be analyzed to determine intensity and award a rating. This book studies various scales and methods to measure tornado intensity and damage including the Storm Prediction Center, wind speed, above ground level, and weather radar.
