What do scientists use to measure hurricane?

Answer 1

Wind speed is the determining factor for the Saffir-Simpson rating (Category 1-5). This can be measure with an anemometer or estimated based on satellite imagery.

Another measure of intensity is barometric pressure, which is measure with a barometer.

Answer 2

Scientists use various tools to measure hurricanes, including satellites, weather balloons, Doppler radar, and hurricane hunter aircraft. These tools help measure the storm's strength, size, wind speed, and pressure, which are essential for forecasting the storm's path and intensity.

Answer 3

scientists measure hurricanes by using the saffir-simpson scale, which means the saffir-simpson hurricane scale is a classification used for some Western Hemisphere tropical cyclones that exceed the intensities of tropical depressions and tropical storms. the saffir-simpson scale have f1-f5 to measure a hurricane.

Minimal would be a 1 step hurricane, a moderate would be a 2 step hurricane, an extensive would be a 3 step hurricane,an extreme would be a 4 step hurricane, and a catastrophic is a 5 step hurricane. You need to see how strong the wind is blowing.

Answer 4

The saffir-simpson hurrican scale is what measures hurricane strength.

Answer 5

anemometer
