What Are We Doing with (Or To) the F-Scale?
5.6 What Are We Doing with (or to) the F-Scale? Daniel McCarthy, Joseph Schaefer and Roger Edwards NOAA/NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman, OK 1. Introduction Dr. T. Theodore Fujita developed the F- Scale, or Fujita Scale, in 1971 to provide a way to compare mesoscale windstorms by estimating the wind speed in hurricanes or tornadoes through an evaluation of the observed damage (Fujita 1971). Fujita grouped wind damage into six categories of increasing devastation (F0 through F5). Then for each damage class, he estimated the wind speed range capable of causing the damage. When deriving the scale, Fujita cunningly bridged the speeds between the Beaufort Scale (Huler 2005) used to estimate wind speeds through hurricane intensity and the Mach scale for near sonic speed winds. Fujita developed the following equation to estimate the wind speed associated with the damage produced by a tornado: Figure 1: Fujita's plot of how the F-Scale V = 14.1(F+2)3/2 connects with the Beaufort Scale and Mach number. From Fujita’s SMRP No. 91, 1971. where V is the speed in miles per hour, and F is the F-category of the damage. This Amazingly, the University of Oklahoma equation led to the graph devised by Fujita Doppler-On-Wheels measured up to 318 in Figure 1. mph flow some tens of meters above the ground in this tornado (Burgess et. al, 2002). Fujita and his staff used this scale to map out and analyze 148 tornadoes in the Super 2. Early Applications Tornado Outbreak of 3-4 April 1974. -

The Population Bias of Severe Weather Reports West of the Continental Divide
THE POPULATION BIAS OF SEVERE WEATHER REPORTS WEST OF THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE Paul Frisbie NOAAlNational Weather Service Weather Forecast Office Grand Junction, Colorado Abstract and had 'significant consequences. Lightning from thun derstorms that afternoon sparked the Marble Cone fire Many severe storms in the West may go unreported or (several miles south of Camp Pico Blanco) that burned unobserved, and therefore, the severe weather climatology 177,866 acres - the third largest wildfire in California's is not fully understood. However, as the population has history (California Department of Forestry and Fire increased in the West, so has the number of severe weath Protection 2004). er reports. To check if a population bias exists, correlation The aforementioned cases illustrate the challenges of coefficients are calculated with respect to population for establishing a relevant severe weather climatology for tornadic and nontornadic severe storm activity. The sam the western US. Since no one knows how many severe ple size for tornadic storms is too small to draw any con storms go unreported or unobserved, there is uncertainty clusion. To calculate the correlation coefficients for non regarding the number of severe storms that actually do tornadic severe storms, population and severe weather occur. People have been gradually moving into areas that data are used for every county in each western state were once unpopulated, and are now observing severe between the years 1986-1995 and 1996-2004. The calcu storms that would not have been observed beforehand. To lated correlation coefficients reveal that population and provide a better understanding of how often severe the number ofnontornadic severe storms are significantly weather occurs, trends for tornadic and nontornadic correlated which indicates that a population bias does severe storms will be examined. -

PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS TO INTERSTATE 59/INTERSTATE 20 Lauderdale County, Mississippi MDOT Project Number DB/IM-0059-03(099)/108158-301000 DESIGN-BUILD PROJECT NOTICE OF INTENT The Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) intends to solicit proposals from parties interested in providing design and construction services necessary to upgrade lighting within the approximate Meridian city limits, install Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) infrastructure, and to complete the widening, rehabilitation, or replacement of multiple existing bridges on Interstate 59/Interstate 20 in Lauderdale County in Mississippi. Modifications to the bridge or the roadway below may be required in order to provide adequate vertical clearance at certain locations. Other work included may involve bridge demolition, roadway design, hydro-demolition, girder replacement, joint replacement, installation of retaining wall systems, minor repairs, and associated roadway work. The Mississippi Transportation Commission (Commission) will use a two-step process to select a Design- Build team with which to execute a contract for this Project. The Request for Qualifications (RFQ) represents the first step in the process. The purpose of the RFQ is to solicit Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) from Responders interested in providing the requested services necessary to complete the Project. After evaluation and scoring of responsive SOQs, the Commission intends to short-list the most qualified Responders. The Short-listed Responders will be provided a Request for Proposals (RFP) and will be asked to submit a Volume 1 – Technical Proposal and a Volume 2 – Contract Price Proposal. A Design-Build team will then be selected for the Project utilizing the best-value selection method. This NOTICE OF INTENT is issued to allow potential Responders an opportunity to form Design-Build teams in anticipation of the issuance of the RFQ. -

Relying on existing data for 373 archaeological sites and minimal surface materials collected for this project, examination of site constituents and their presumed functions in light of geography and chronology indicated two distinctive archaeological patterns. First, limited-use sites—lithic scatters thought to represent hunting, travel, or obsidian procurement activities—were most prevalent in pre- 1500 B.P. contexts. Second, intensive-use sites, containing features and artifacts believed to represent a broader range of activities, were most prevalent in post-1500 B.P.
