takasauma
Takasaka is a Japanese snowfall intensity scale that measures the severity of snowfall based on the physical properties of the snow and the wind conditions. The scale was developed by Japanese researchers to provide a more accurate and comprehensive way of classifying snowfall, as it takes into account both the amount of snowfall and the intensity of the wind.
The Takasaka scale divides snowfall into five categories, ranging from weak to severe. The categories are based
Category 1: Flurries, with small, delicate snowflakes and weak wind gusts, typically limited to 1-2 cm of
Category 2: Light snowfall, with moderate-sized snowflakes and moderate wind gusts, typically producing 2-5 cm of
Category 3: Moderate snowfall, with larger snowflakes and stronger wind gusts, producing 5-10 cm of snowfall.
Category 4: Heavy snowfall, with very large snowflakes and strong, gusty winds, typically producing 10-20 cm
Category 5: Severe snowstorm, characterized by extremely large snowflakes, extremely strong winds, and significant blowing snow,
The Takasaka scale is widely used in Japan and other countries to predict and measure the severity
