A waterspout is an intense columnar vortex (usually appearing as a funnel-shaped cloud) that occurs over a body of water. Some are connected to a cumulus congestus cloud, some to a cumuliform cloud and some to a cumulonimbus cloud.[1] In the common form, it is a non-supercell tornado over water.[1][2][3]
While it is often weaker than most of its land counterparts, stronger versions spawned by mesocyclones do occur.[4][5] Most waterspouts do not suck up water; they are small and weak rotating columns of air over water.[1][6]
While waterspouts form mostly in the tropics and subtropical areas,[1] other areas also report waterspouts, including Europe, Australia, New Zealand, the Great Lakes, Antarctica[7][8] and on rare occasions, the Great Salt Lake.[9] Although rare, waterspouts have been observed in connection with lake-effect snow precipitation bands.
Waterspouts have a five-part life cycle: formation of a dark spot on the water surface, spiral pattern on the water surface, formation of a spray ring, development of the visible condensation funnel, and ultimately decay.
