The US was already geared for war, that's what the cold war was all about. However, US tactics and machines of war had to be modified somewhat for the Vietnam War.
Modern meteorologists use the numerical weather prediction method.  This method uses mathematical smulations of the earth to predict  the weather. A number of simulations ar â¦ e run in different countries  worldwide, using weather observations relayed from weather  satellites and radar as inputs to the simulations.
Weather.gov > Norman, OK > The Enhanced Fujita Scale (EF Scale) The Enhanced Fujita Scale or EF Scale, which became operational on February 1, 2007, is used to assign a tornado a 'rating' based on estimated wind speeds and related damage. When tornado-related damage is surveyed, it is compared to a list of Damage Indicators (DIs) and Degrees of Damage (DoD) which help estimate better the range of wind speeds the tornado likely produced.
