After the disaster, Jiangsu provincial Observatory preliminary judge tornadoes occur.

"Long Jie Lingyun Jiangsu provincial meteorological station said.

专家组确认江苏盐城龙卷风为EF4级 风力超17级|盐城|龙卷风_新闻资讯
原标题：专家组确认盐城“6·23”龙卷风为EF4级 风力超17级
新华社南京6月26日新媒体专电(记者 朱国亮)国家气象中心强天气预报中心首席郑永光26日向记者透露，经现场勘测，江苏盐城风灾已确认为龙卷风，专家组判定等级为EF4级，风力超过17级。
6月23日下午14时至15时，江苏盐城发生历史罕见的大风、暴雨、冰雹、雷电等极端天气，并对盐城市阜宁、射阳等地部分区域造成巨大破坏。灾害发生后，江苏省气象台初步判断有龙卷风发生。
“目前的自动气象站、雷达等观测设备的密度和性能还无法明确扑捉到龙卷风，只能初步推测，因此龙卷风都需要现场调查确认，并根据其破坏力确定其等级。”江苏省气象台台长解令运说。灾害发生后，江苏省气象局立即邀请国家气象中心强天气预报中心、北京大学、南京大学等单位共10位气象专家组成调查组前往盐城灾区进行了现场调查。
调查组组长郑永光告诉记者，经现场勘测，并与雷达资料相互印证，确认此次造成如此巨大破坏的大风就是龙卷风。现场主要依据是树木、电线杆倒伏特征符合龙卷风特性，都是往中心倒。许多树木的树叶、树皮都被扒光，这也符合龙卷风的破坏特征。另外，一个关键证据是，阜宁灾区一小学老师用手机拍摄了一段视频，其中出现了漏斗云。漏斗云是判断龙卷风的另一个重要依据。
郑永光还介绍，从现场破坏情况来看，十位专家一致认定，此次龙卷风为EF4级，风力超过17级，估算风速达到惊人的73米／秒。
江苏省气象局副局长杨金彪说，龙卷风总共分为6级，最低为EF0级，最高为EF5级，此次龙卷风强度接近于最高级别。从风力而言，目前对风力的分级中，17级是最高级别，但这次龙卷风的风力超过了17级。
“对这次龙卷风强度定级，同样是依据现场的破坏状况来分析、推定的。”郑永光告诉记者，在现场，他们调查了解到很多房屋和一个水塔被完全摧毁；有汽车被大风抛起，并插到一个废墟中；有二三吨重的集装箱被大风抛起带到数百米外，并发生扭曲；有原本在水中、重达一两吨的水泥船舶被大风卷起，倒扣在岸上；还有通信铁塔被拧成了麻花状。这些都彰显了此次龙卷风的巨大破坏力。
杨金彪介绍，目前专家组还在对龙卷风经过区域的宽度、长度进行精确测量，最终将形成一份完整报告对外公布。
