Hand-Drawn Analyses. The human hand is one of most important instruments in predicting tornadoes. Studies of surface and upper air data, which are drawn on maps, help forecasters to see patterns in the storm that may indicate cyclonic weather.
Wind speed is usually measured by a device called an anemometer, which has cups that spin around a vertical axis in the wind (the Beaufort wind scale rates, on a scale of 1 to 12, how strong the wind is). Severe tornadoes, however, can destroy these relatively fragile devices. There are other methods of measuring wind speed (including Doppler radar), but measuring the wind during a tornado is not easily done because tornadoes exist for such a short time.
