Rossi–Forel scalen.

Brit.

/ˌrɒsɪfəˈrɛl skeɪl/, U.S.

/ˌrɔsifəˈrɛl skeɪl/,

/ˌrɑsifəˈrɛl skeɪl/

Origin: From a proper name, combined with an English element. Etymons: proper name Rossi , scale n.³

Etymology: < the names of Michele Stefano Conte de Rossi (1834–98), Italian geologist, and François-Alphonse Forel (1841–1912), Swiss physician and limnologist + scale n.³Rossi and Forel collaborated in proposing the scale in 1883, both having independently published similar intensity scales in the previous decade.

Seismology.

A ten-point scale used to express the local intensity of an earthquake.

1885 Science 6 Mar. 197/1 The intensity of shocks is measured on the Rossi-Forel scale.

1900 London, Edinb., & Dublin Philos. Mag. 5th Ser. 50 51 The scale which I have used in studying British earthquakes differs but little from the Rossi-Forel scale.

1946 Nature 13 July 65/1 The shock on May 8 was apparently the most pronounced felt in Dunedin for many years. The intensity recorded there was IV–V on the Modified Mercalli Scale (equivalent to 5 on the Rossi-Forel Scale).

1976 Daily Colonist (Victoria, Brit. Columbia) 17 Aug. 1/1 The quake, measuring 7 on the Rossi Forel scale of 10, struck shortly after midnight.

2006 S. Tobriner Bracing Disaster iii. 39 This Rossi-Forel scale evaluates intensity—degree of damage and severity of shaking—on a scale of I to X in a particular location.
