Spatial–temporal clustering of tornadoes [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2016 The standard measure of the intensity of a tornado is the Enhanced Fujita scale, which is based qualitatively on the damage caused by a tornado. An alternative measure of tornado intensity is the tornado path length, L.
