A waterspout can be as tall as One World Trade Center in New York City, but do you know how they form? Find out and join our new weather community for more in-depth info: wxch.nl/1VTRUXT.
You still tried to imply that it descends out of the clouds to the water. But the vortex comes from the water and works its way upward then electrostatic induction generated by the spinning vortex and particles of brine attract the cloud base into an areola complex then the funnel forms. The more the speed increases in the center the more the mass of the water vapor increases and causes the condensation to sink. The vortex is irrotational so the formation is a funnel.
So to put it in simple terms, it's basically a warm, rotating updraft into a building/convecting storm where the increased pressure gradient and cooling air results in the moisture to condense and make the updraft visible (similar to the Wilson cloud seen from the pressure wave of an explosion taking place in warm/humid conditions- in terms of pressure forcing condensation). Unlike a tornado which has updraft(s) surrounding a central downdraft/low pressure area.
Exactly my thoughts. There isn't a lot of information on whether they can exceed ef2 speeds. I would love to see what an ef4/ef5 waterspout looks like!
I got hit by a canoe because of this thing XD I was minding my own business on a small "deck" on the waterin the middle of a lake, you know taking a sun bath, the canoe was anchor to the deck. Then we saw some water going up with the wind, and by the time it came to us I crouched and got hit in the back by the canoe.... I was really hangover that morning so the headache after the hit was pretty intense lol.
nothing. All tornadoes don’t suck, the spin. There is no sucking force(Unless you go further up into the storm where the strongest part of the updraft lies(100+MPH vertical winds)
Is it save to go with a scuba gear there and a gopro or will that kill me or something? I need to now before I do it Ima be the first man to do this stunt Wing suit scubagear gopro
@@chazayah5985 lol.... Makes sense 👍 ya know, I wonder if that's where wind comes from. There is a "butterfly effect" theory. Wonder if waterspouts are "wave theory." Well and the moon, and spinning earth. Used to laugh at the idea "flying sharks" now I wonder, how often animals quicken migration with a waterspout. I know it was a disservice to the spider, but what about the turtle? Not much debris a waterspout can pick up in the middle of the ocean?? Unless they go through the Pacific garbage patch ;)
