	Ted Fujita Summary
		Fujita was born in Kitakyushu City, Japan, to Tomojiro, a schoolteacher, and Yoshie (Kanesue) Fujita.
		Fujita was eventually able to show that downdrafts cause so-called wind shear, a sudden and dramatic change in wind velocity, which causes damage on the ground and is a particular hazard in aviation, especially to planes taking off, landing, or flying low.
		Tetsuya Theodore "Ted" Fujita (藤田哲也 Fujita Tetsuya, October 23, 1920–November 19, 1998) was one of the great severe storms researchers of the twentieth century.

		Tetsuya Theodore Fujita (藤田哲也, October 23, 1920–November 19, 1998) was one of the great severe storms researchers of the twentieth century.
		He is recognized as the discoverer of downbursts and microbursts and also developed the Fujita scale which links tornado damage with wind speed.
		In addition to the Fujita scale, he was a pioneer in the development of tornado overflight and damage survey techniques.

	Fujita
		Fujita began studying meteorology in 1947 in Japan after he heard approaching thunder.
		In the 1970's, Dr. Fujita invented the Fujita Scale to measure the link between tornado damage and wind speed.
		The highlight of Dr. Fujita's outbreak analysis occurred with the tornado outbreak of 1974.

	A TRIBUTE TO DR
		Ted Fujita was born on October 23, 1920 in northern Kyushu, the southwesternmost island in Japan.
		Dr. Fujita was asked to apply his microanalysis techniques to the barograph traces from a case involving a tornado outbreak in Kansas and Oklahoma on June 25, 1953.
		Fujita brought with him a diversity of experiences and skills when he arrived at the University of Chicago as a Research Associate in 1953 and as a faculty member in 1956.

	Fujita Scale, Tornado Warning Online!
		CHICAGO, Thursday, Nov. 19, 1998 - Tetsuya Theodore "Ted" Fujita, a University of Chicago meteorologist who devised the standard for measuring the strength of tornadoes and discovered microbursts and their link to plane crashes, has died at 78.
		Fujita discovered microbursts -- sudden, severe downdrafts from thunderstorms that can result in 150 mph winds on or near the ground -- after studying the starburst patterns of trees uprooted by tornadoes.
		Fujita did not trust computers to help conduct his analyses, preferring to do it himself, Chicago meteorologist Duane Stiegler said.

		Tetsuya Fujita was born in Sone town, now part of South Kokura ward of Kitakyushu City, on the island of Kyushu, Japan, on October 23, 1920, the eldest child of Tomojiro and Yoshie Fujita.
		His pragmatism was evident very early when in middle school, he was taken to visit the Ao-no-domon tunnel at Yabakei, which had been dug by a monk by hand over 30 years to make the path along the canyon easier for travellers.
		During this period, he was greatly assisted by James Partacz and Duane Stiegler in performing research and maintaining his contacts with the research community; the Fujita family is greatly indebted to their service beyond the call of duty.

	Merriam-Webster Online
		Credit for the invention of the word "microburst" is generally given to tornado expert Tetsuya Theodore Fujita.
		Fujita first described these extremely intense wind patterns in 1974.
		He noted that microbursts are usually short-lived, lasting only 5 to 15 minutes, but that they are extremely dangerous, especially for aircraft, because they cause sudden unexpected changes in wind direction or speed.

	Microburst - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A microburst is a very localized column of sinking air, producing damaging straight-line winds similar to, but distinguishable from tornadoes.
		The term was defined by severe weather expert Tetsuya Theodore Fujita as affecting an area four kilometers (or 2.5 miles) in diameter or less, distinguishing them from downbursts, which can encompass greater areas.
		They also can be powered from the high speed winds of the Jet stream.

		The National Weather Service accepted the Fujita Scale for use in 1973 and Allen Pearson, then director of the National Severe Storms Forecast Center, added the Pearson Scales for tornado path length and path width, creating the Fujita-Pearson Scale.

	The Fujita Tornado Intensity Scale
		Bigger tornadoes are usually stronger, but the visible size of the funnel also depends on ambient humidity, and a camera record only exists for a fraction of all tornadoes.
		In 1971 Tetsuya Theodore Fujita, a professor at the University of Chicago, came up with a system to rank tornadoes according to how much damage they cause.
		The resulting classification (Table 1) became known as the Fujita scale, sometimes referred to as the Fujita-Pearson Tornado Intensity Scale, since Allen Pearson of the Forecast center in Kansas City did much of the groundwork to identify tornado damage (1).

	Tornado Classification, F-Scale: EnchantedLearning.com
		In 1971, Dr. Theodore Fujita developed a method for categorizing tornadoes by looking at how much damage they cause and using this to estimate the wind speed.
		This system is called the F-Scale or Fujita Scale; it classifies tornadoes by their estimated wind speed, which is determined by looking at how strong the wind must have been to cause the resulting damage.
		Tetsuya Theodore (Ted) Fujita (Oct. 23, 1920 - Nov. 19, 1998) was a pioneering meteorologist who revolutionized the study of severe storms.

	What Is A Tornado? - Weather News Story - WCVB Boston
		The Fuijita Scale is used to rate the intensity of a tornado by examining the damage caused by the tornado after it has passed over a man-made structure.
		The scale is named for the late Professor Tetsuya Theodore Fujita, who co-developed the ratings.
		The scale ranges from F0, which is designated by some damage to chimneys and trees with winds reaching 40 to 72 mph, to F6, which would have winds reaching up to 379 mph.

	Measuring Tornadoes by Jim Cornish
		In 1971, a meteorologist named Theodore Fujita developed the Fujita Scale to solve the problem of measuring tornado intensity.
		His scale, with values ranging from F1 to F5, indicates the strength of a tornado based not on wind speeds but on an examination of the damage tornadoes cause after passing over man-made structures like homes and other buildings.
		On the Fujita Scale, F-0 and F-1 tornadoes are considered "weak," F-2 and F-3 are "strong" and F-4 and F-5 are "violent." F-6 or higher rated tornadoes aren't thought to exist.
