Exclusive of these projects is a geographically and chronologically diverse collection of newspapers documenting such events as 1974s tornadic Superoutbreak, the F-5 Lubbock tornado of 1970, the large Joplin, Missouri tornado of 1973, and dozens of other incidents. 27, No. Encyclopaedia Britannica's editors oversee subject areas in which they have extensive knowledge, whether from years of experience gained by working on that content or via study for an advanced degree. Fujitas analysis of the Palm Sunday Outbreak of April 1112, 1965, was the first systematic analysis of a regional outbreak. 5 COVID-19 was the third leading cause of death in 2020, with an estimated 345 323 deaths, and was largely responsible for the .

Tetsuya Fujita, in full Tetsuya Theodore Fujita, also called Ted Fujita or T. Theodore Fujita, original name Fujita Tetsuya, (born October 23, 1920, Kitakysh City, Japandied November 19, 1998, Chicago, Illinois, U.S.), Japanese-born American meteorologist who created the Fujita Scale, or F-Scale, a system of classifying tornado intensity based on damage to structures and vegetation. Quickly see who the memorial is for and when they lived and died and where they are buried. He pioneered novel techniques for analyzing small to midsize weather conditions, laying the foundation for the mesoscale analyses now carried out in weather stations all over the world. The Dr. T. Theodore Fujita Collection contains published manuscripts, draft manuscripts, charts, graphs, maps, photographs, photographic negatives, slides, and miscellaneous other materials pertaining to his four decades of meteorological research. 37 (12), p. 803-807 (in Japanese) [published December 1990], Folder 72, "Microburst at Haneda Airport and Modara Tornado of 11 December 1990," Weather Service Bulletin, Vol. Diabetes was the underlying cause of death in around 4,700 deaths (28% of diabetes deaths). The second leading cause of death, heart disease, killed 5,030 more men than women. 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. 4 to Office of Naval Research, Storm Data Project, 1995, Folder 24, "A Step Toward the 12-month Prediction of El Nino," by Fujita, T.
