At 4 p.m. on the 17th, some netizens photographed the rare phenomenon of 'Dragon absorbing water' near the black island sea area in Zhuanghe, Dalian. In the video, a huge water column connects the sea and the sky, and the water column gets thicker and thicker, and the connecting clouds get thicker and thicker, which is very shocking. How did this phenomenon come into being?
Meteorologists say 'dragon water absorption' is a tornado that happens at sea.
What is tornado water? What is tornado water? When will this spectacle appear?
Waterspout is commonly known as dragon suction or dragon hanging water. A water tornado is a kind of tornado that occasionally appears over the warm water surface. Its upper end is connected with the thunderstorm cloud, and its lower end extends directly to the water surface, rotating and moving at the same time. The dangerous degree of air column water tornado is no less than that of tornado, and the internal wind speed can exceed 200 kilometers per hour.
Tornado on the sea is a severe local weather phenomenon with a very short life history. As there is no indication that a more accurate forecast can be made for it at home and abroad, it is very rare to see the scene of 'Dragon absorbing water'. However, the internal wind speed of these air column water tornadoes, which are full of moisture and rotate rapidly, can exceed 200 kilometers per hour, which is no less dangerous than tornadoes. Therefore, when a ship encounters a "dragon sucking water" on the sea, it should avoid it as soon as possible.
