    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

    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.

    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.

  • @surchris
    @surchris 3 роки тому +21

    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 ?

    • @kaubin31
      @kaubin31 2 роки тому +7

      In essence your mostly correct. Higher updraft speeds are caused by warm moist air at the surface beneath much cooler air aloft. The colder and drier the air the faster warm air will rise. A super cell I'd like a mini low pressure system with the inflow being the warm front, the rear flank downdraft being the cold front. And where they meet and occlude is usually the location of the meso and subsequent tornado. Directional shear, steep lapse rates, and warm and moist air all play a part.

    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

    • @kaubin31
      @kaubin31 2 роки тому +1

      First of all their explanation is bs. Their little diagram shows winds from the south at the surface and from the west at 5000 ft causing the air to tumble horizontally. Directional shear is winds veering with height. Which means 850 mb winds should ideally be easterly, and charging more southerly at 700 mb, south westerly at 500 mb and west to northwest at 300 mb. That's what cause rotating supercells, fast moving air in the mid to upper levels increases the speed of the updraft along with steep lapse rates aloft, or cooling of the air as you go up. Once the storm has begun to rotate the rear flank downdraft interacts with the updraft causing it to accelerate and tighten, explained by vorticity stretching. The cold air also causes the condensation funnel to form. The whole meteorological community is flat out wrong if they accept horizontal vortex leads to tornadoes. I've been chasing 20 plus years and have never witnessed a horizontal vortex in the clouds near an updraft.
