What Causes a Tornado? 

Me up at 2:37 am My brain: I wonder what causes a tornado

Finally some animation that explains updraft well.

It's also worth noting, that a tornado's funnel doesn't have to reach the ground in order to cause significant damage. For example, the tornado that formed on the 7th of June, 2020 in Kaniów (Poland), has been rated as a low-end F2, (it ripped roofs off of at least 8 houses and in total damaged about 20). It's funnel never touched the ground.

Thanks so much so we know about the tornado

Some ways to know if a tornado is coming 1. Dark Green Sky 2. Large hail 3. Loud roar that sound like a fright train

Its so easy to understand. Tha k you so much

Learned something new!! Was seeing a short related to it and had to find what is the cost of it!! Commented on 2 Dec 2023, 5;48 AM

Thanks

Was that supercell by Lubbock? I remember that. Picture went viral. I also took some. Scary stuff.

I need this for my English research report 😅

Omg there was a tornado in texas Houston last year i was sleeping 0:28

1:08 水平渦管が鉛直に立ち上がる時、回転方向の異なる渦の対が出来るけれども、片方が消失するのはなぜですか？ When a horizontal vortex tube rises vertically, a pair of vortices with different directions of rotation is formed, but why does one disappear?

What is the safety place for tornado though?

This was great thanks I needed it :)

Can seed clouds cause this as well.

Take away the rotating horizontal tubes & your pretty accurate

I Love the field

Noaa can you upload your video again please i Miss your video

oh here i am yet again..when I was 6 I watched the fuck outta tornado videos, and now I'm here again lmao

hey are you the one that made the weather radio?

And where'd you get that speech from please😊

Just a personal observation, watching some super cell thunderstorms in the midwest, I always hear that it is rotating horizontal air that gets moved in to a vertical position that creates a tornado. I wondered as I watched supercells that had a very fast vertical speed seemed to always form tornados. Could a fast rising supercell be like a massive vacuum and suck up air that would create a low pressure area and start the rotation in the cloud and move down towards the ground as the vertical speed increased. The slower vertical growing super cells did not seem to create visible thunderstorms, but there could have been tornados in the cloud, just the vertical rise did not create as strong of a vacuum effect like the faster rising storms. Has anyone ever looked at tornado formation being created by a very fast rising storm ?

Perhaps it was right to say that an tornado funnel did reach the ground for example A tornado that formed was in the May 12 2014 in Oklahoma City its also worth it to say that

I love tornadoes but I live in a state were you don’t get that many tornadoes like non 🌪️ In Utah Murray😢😢😢

I’m sitting in a shelter while watching this.

I love your video ❤❤

It feels like I'm in geography class something like that right?

Horizontal tube of air to form . different wind direction . Updraft from warm air can cause horizontal tube of air to go vertical , whole storm starts rotating creating a supercell. funnel cloud reaches ground creating a tornado

Anyone else here after the montebello tornados?

Watching this after the devastating news in Kentucky and other states 🙏🏻

How did you know this my mum told me a few seconds ago that is that is a tornado gets you you go you go up and up and up and up and up and up and up and up and up and then when you get the tornado throws you onto the ground I really cried of laughter when my mum told me this I cannot even understand that but I was laughing so much

A mesocyclone is a meso-gamma mesoscale (or storm scale) region of rotation (vortex), typically around 2 to 6 mi (3.2 to 9.7 km) in diameter, most often noticed on radar within thunderstorms. In the northern hemisphere it is usually located in the right rear flank (back edge with respect to direction of movement) of a supercell, or often on the eastern, or leading, flank of a high-precipitationvariety of supercell. The area overlaid by a mesocyclone’s circulation may be several miles (km) wide, but substantially larger than any tornado that may develop within it, and it is within mesocyclones where intense tornadoes form.[ Mesocyclones are medium-scale vortices of rising and converging air that circulate around a vertical axis. They are most often associated with a localregion of low-pressure. Their rotation is (usually) in the same direction as low pressure systems in a given hemisphere: counter-clockwise in the northern, and clockwise in the southern hemisphere, with the only occasional exceptions being the smallest-scale mesocyclones. Meso Anticyclones that rotate in an opposite direction may accompany mesocyclones within a supercell but these tend to be weaker and often more transient than mesocyclones, which can be sustained for tens of minutes or hours, and also cyclically form in succession within a supercell. A mesocyclone is usually a phenomenon that is difficult to observe directly. Visual evidence of rotation - such as curved inflow bands - may suggest the presence of a mesocyclone, but the cylinder of circulating air is often too large to be recognized when viewed from the ground, or may not carry clouds distinct enough from the surrounding calmer air to make the circulating air flow obvious. Mesocyclones are best detected on Doppler weather radar as a rotation signature which meets specific criteria for magnitude, vertical depth, and duration. On U.S. NEXRAD radar displays, they are typically highlighted by a yellow solid circle on the Doppler velocity display; other weather services may have other conventions. Within thunderstormsEdit They are of greatest concern when contained within severe thunderstorms, since mesocyclones often occur together with updrafts in supercells, within which tornadoes may form near the interchange with a downdraft. Mesocyclones are localized, approximately 2 km (1.2 mi) to 10 km (6.2 mi) in diameter within strong thunderstorms.[2] Thunderstorms containing persistent mesocyclones are supercell thunderstorms (although some supercells and even tornadic storms do not produce lightning or thunder and thus are not technically thunderstorms). Doppler weather radar is used to identify mesocyclones. Amesovortex is a similar but typically smaller and weaker rotational feature associated with squall lines.

Is the supercell rotating at the same speed as a tornado

so when convection happens tornado happens?

Why did I feel like I was at school 😂😂

😊😅😮😅😮😮😅How does a tornado form but we need a exclamation how to survive and how to survive tornado

Точно

Nice 👌👌

Who else is watching this at 2am? Lol

o my word so dangerous

supercell heading at school and forms a tornado💀

Thank you for crediting the music on the bottom of the description

cool

this was great, thanks!

tornado. it is scary. 😢

But it's also noted that tornadoes are weak and they only last for 2 or 3 minutes

i believe when a cumulonimbus cloud meets the airstream the potential for tornadoes is much higher..🌪

So That’s How Supercell created their games

Stay Safe God Bless

New update to to this information the government also creates tornadoes

It's strange how tornadoes hit North America more than any place on the globe..............why??

I wish I was inside or felt how it was to be near a tornado

Cool

a tornado rotates cooling the air (this is a source of energy)

A word windshear kinda reminds the name for heathers razorwhip from httyd

what causes tornado? a person using my name

1:45 That's a stong built house 🤣

Important thanks

No one Me in airplane: windshear!²

Tornadoes go updrafts and a phone cloud they high winds they pick up cars and stuff like that

That’s really close for humans Hot air at ground level is the hottest dense air it rises like an escalator. It would carry on but the air mass in front is too much and turns it around , high pressure at the top of the escalator grabs it again , the circle is now complete. It starts spinnning in a circle . The hot air condensed and fuses and becomes visible ( storm cell) The cold wet air now spins faster turning to ice . The ice particles collide causing static electricity. (supercell) If you add electric to hot it gets hotter , if you add electric to cold it gets colder , Heavyweight ice is now spinning high up . Due to molecular connectivity it spins the air mass below , but air is fiscous, so there is a delayed reaction so the storm is spinning Miles ahead of the lower air , when the lower air starts to spin it has alot of catching up to do, making it spin much more violently than high up. The tornado takes the air from ground level and uses it to disperse the kinetic energy by attaching protons , this switches off the air conditioning and the ice , eventually the storm ends and there’s no superheated air left at ground level . This stops the earth from dying of heat exposure, of course it also wipes out maybury avenue

Excuse me, what's your name

Willam Cohen on Weather Warfare Dig Deep

Thanks that helped me a lot now I am the smartest in mu class about this topic

Ok

😊

🌪️🌪️🌪️🌪️🌊🌊🌊🌪️🌪️🌪️🌪️I love the video

🎉

nice

I thinked like i am in class

This is good a

Weren’t the astronauts onboard the fatal last flight of the Columbia space shuttle studying wind shear? 🌬💘 rip yall

🤔😮😯😲 Tornado

Man it sounds like a super cell storm clouds WITH ALL THE SMOKE

Cool video. Now tell us there is a possible solution for preventing them.

Tornado di atas

anyone else doing this for a school project

I live in usa

Sorry, but you still didn’t explain the genesis of the development itself….

i was spining my mouse like a tornado

Tornado warning

🌪️🌨️🌧️🌧️🌧️

But what do you do if the tornado is headed to you in a matter of seconds with no means to "bomb shelter"? It's probably better to not know imo.

😬

Thanks NOAA!

ever think maybe trees help stop these tornadoes from forming??

The was to house it's the to my house?

🌪🌪🌪

De

If I had nothing to say we tell some great news other people had been watching the first video of science "why does the wind blow?" But suddenly a second video "what causes a tornado?" Suddenly we captured it's the same logic videos so it was funny suddenly as a joke or something not right...

It's worst my son is died for this

Put on dirtbike jumping on x

I kinda is school😂

Tornado warning Killed people

Uh we had this type of storm but no tornado

To tornado warning ⚠️🌪⛈🌩🌩☁️🌧?!

😂😂You are funny

Thanks, meteorologists!

Yea 🤣🤣🤣

I don' s like it i am geting the wind
