Since strong and violent tornadoes destroy weather instruments. we really only have measurements of the winds inside weaker tornadoes. Mobile Doppler radars can measure wind speeds in a tornado above ground level -- and the strongest was 318 mph measured on May 3, 1999 near Bridge Creek/Moore, Oklahoma.

Weather forecasting is used to track tonadoes. THe Beaufort wind force scale is used to measure tornado wind speed. ... "VORTRAC allows us to take the wind measurements from the radar, turn the crank, and have a central pressure drop out of a calculation," says Colin McAdie, a meteorologist at NHC. "This will be a...

"The large antenna will focus more energy for better resolution, allowing us to detect smaller storms, like tornadoes," he observed. ... SMART-R can be placed off to the side of the hurricane's initial landfall zone, as much as 50 to 100 miles away, and measure at a distance the hurricane's wind field over a broad area.

This kids' severe weather page is part of the Sky Diary site, devoted to storm chasing, chasers and sky and weather photography. ... Though we can look at a tornado and see how big it is, we can't measure its strength by sight. Instead, scientists often use the F-scale, or Fujita scale, to measure how strong tornadoes are.
