On the implementation of the enhanced Fujita scale in the USA [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric Research, 2009
The history of tornado intensity rating in the United States of America (USA), pioneered by T. Fujita, is reviewed, showing that non-meteorological changes in the climatology of the tornado intensity ratings are likely, raising questions about the temporal (and spatial) consistency of the ratings.

Comparing the theoretical versions of the Beaufort scale, the T-Scale and the Fujita scale

Atmospheric Research, 2007
Abstract 2005 is the bicentenary of the Beaufort Scale and its wind-speed codes: the marine version in 1805 and the land version later. In the 1920s when anemometers had come into general use, the Beaufort Scale was quantified by a formula based on experiment.

T. Theodore Fujita: His Contribution to Tornado Knowledge through Damage Documentation and the Fujita Scale

Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 2001
Abstract The Fujita scale and extensive documentation of tornado damage are two of T. Theodore Fujita's most important legacies. The Fujita scale is the primary instrument for indirect estimates of tornado wind speed intensity used today. This paper reviews the development and application of the Fujita scale and points out the advantages and ...

Swirl ratio effects on tornado vortices in relation to the Fujita scale

Wind and Structures, an International Journal, 2008
Three-dimensional engineering simulations of momentum-driven tornado-like vortices are conducted to investigate the flow dynamics dependency on swirl ratio and the possible relation with real tornado Fujita scales. Numerical results are benchmarked against the laboratory experimental results of Baker (1981) for a fixed swirl ratio: S = 0.28.

Blow-up for semilinear wave equations with the scale invariant damping and super-Fujita exponent

open access: yesJournal of Differential Equations, 2017
The blow-up for semilinear wave equations with the scale invariant damping has been well-studied for sub-Fujita exponent. However, for super-Fujita exponent, there is only one blow-up result which is obtained in 2014 by Wakasugi in the case of non-effective damping. In this paper we extend his result in two aspects by showing that: (I) the blow-up will
