Enhanced Fujita Scale Revisions by 2030
The Revised Enhanced Fujita Scale (EF Scale) by 2030 The purpose of revising Enhanced Fujita scale aims to expand beyond current 28 damaging indicators, integrate mobile radar data, and potentially re-evaluate historical tornado ratings. *The revised EF scale will have updated wind metrics to calculate tornado wind speed, overall numeral rating scale will remain EF0 to EF5* - Expanded Damage Indicators: - Grain Bins - Silos - Crop integration systems that lack current structural failure metrics - Mobile Radar Integration: Use real-time mobile velocity data alongside traditional post-storm ground engineering surveys - Historical Tornado Re-Evaluation : This will allow past storms that produced tornadoes to be re-evaluated for missing traditional structural targets by using modern day framework for a more accurate EF rating. - Forensic Engineering Analysis : Structural connection diagnostics - Evaluators actively looking for broken links in ...
