Editing Wind speed (section)

===Tornadic===
Wind speeds within certain atmospheric phenomena (such as [[tornado]]es) may greatly exceed these values but have never been accurately measured. Directly measuring these tornadic winds is rarely done, as the violent wind would destroy the instruments. A method of estimating speed is to use [[Doppler on Wheels]] or mobile [[Doppler weather radar]]s to measure the wind speeds remotely.<ref>{{cite news|title=Massive Okla. tornado had windspeed up to 200 mph|url=http://www.cbsnews.com/news/massive-okla-tornado-had-windspeed-up-to-200-mph/|access-date=17 May 2014|newspaper=CBS News|date=20 May 2013}}</ref> Using this method, a mobile radar ([[RaXPol]]) owned and operated by the [[University of Oklahoma]] recorded winds up to {{convert|150|m/s|mph km/h}} inside the [[2013 El Reno tornado]], marking the fastest winds ever observed by radar in history.<ref name="2024RadarPaper">{{cite journal |last1=Lyza |first1=Anthony W. |last2=Flournoy |first2=Matthew D. |last3=Alford |first3=A.
