The capstone of Fujitas work with tornadoes is considered by many to have been his work with the Super Outbreak of April 34, 1974, a national-scale outbreak of 148 tornadoes (4 of these tornadoes were later reclassified as downbursts by Fujita). He introduced the concept of the tornado family, a sequence of tornadoes, each with a unique path, produced by a single thunderstorm over a few hours. Hass, and G.T.

Tetsuya "Ted" Fujita, 78, a University of Chicago meteorologist who devised the standard for measuring the strength of tornadoes and discovered microbursts and their link to plane crashes, died Nov. 19 at his home here. This tornado would be studied by Dr. Ted Fujita, who would later go on to create the Fujita damage scale. Fujita came up with the term _____ to describe a strong, short-lived downdraft of air in a thunderstorm that can cause an airplane to . He studied and taught at Kyushu Institute of Technology. Teruo Fujita March 2, 2012 Teruo "Ted" Fujita, 98, of Honolulu, a Schofield Barracks electrician and an Army veteran who served during World War II, died in Avalon Care Center. . Cancer killed 4,741 more men than women in the year 2020. In 1953, he began to teach at the University of Chicago, at which he served as a professor until his death in 1998. by Peter Attia. In 1953 he was invited to the University of Chicago by Horace R. Byers, who had become interested in Fujita's research, particularly his independent discovery of the cold-air downdraft. These sudden, severe downdrafts can result in 250-km- (150-mile-) per-hour winds on or near the ground that often uproot trees in discernible starburst patterns.
