Measuring system

Scales with special uses are often named after the person who invented them.

The Richter scale, the Mercalli scale, the Rossi-Forel scale and the Omori are all used to measure the intensity of earthquakes.
The Beaufort scale is used to measure wind force.
The Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin scales (among others) measure temperature.
The Goldberg scale measures mania and depression.
The Scoville Scale measures the hotness of peppers.
The Glasgow Coma Scale measures the severity of comas.
The Fujita scale estimates the intensity of tornadoes.
The Torino Scale and the Palermo scale measure the impact hazard level of near-Earth objects such as asteroids.
