Tetsuya Theodore Fujita (/fudit/; FOO-jee-tah) ( , Fujita Tetsuya, October 23, 1920 - November 19, 1998) was a Japanese-American meteorologist whose research primarily focused on severe weather. In the face of widespread skepticism among his colleagues, Fujita insisted that these damage patterns were the products of columns of air descending rapidly from a thunderstorm, striking the surface, and then flowing out in all directions. According to his book "Memoirs of Effort to Unlock the Mystery of Severe Storms during the 50 Years, 1942-1992," a young Fujita visited volcanoes as they erupted and navigated fast-rising tides to explore a nearby island. He was 78 and still working, although bedridden. These small embedded vorticessometimes termed suction vorticesare often found in the most violent tornadoes and may contain the highest wind speeds known (greater than 500 km per hour, or 300 miles per hour). Ranging from F0 to F5, Fujita's system quickly became the standard for accessing tornadoes as Fujita was renowned as an expert in the field with his previous work. 6, Office of Naval Research, undated, Folder 21, "Statistical Paths of Typhoons in 45 years 1950-1994," by Fujita, T.
