Formation. Tornado Formation of its wall cloud from a Mesocyclone. As the mesocyclone lowers below the cloud base, it begins to take in cool, moist air from the downdraft region of the storm. The convergence of warm air in the updraft and cool air causes a rotating wall cloud to form.
Tornado (z hiszp. tornar – kręcić się), trąba powietrzna – gwałtownie wirująca kolumna powietrza, będąca jednocześnie w kontakcie z powierzchnią ziemi i podstawą cumulonimbusa. Tornada osiągają różne rozmiary. Zwykle przyjmują postać widzialnego leja kondensacyjnego, węższym końcem dotykającego ziemi.
Tornadogenesis is the process by which a tornado forms. There are many types of tornadoes, varying in methods of formation. Despite ongoing scientific study and high-profile research projects such as VORTEX, tornadogenesis is a volatile process and the intricacies of many of the mechanisms of tornado formation are still poorly understood.

The updraft of warm air causes the vortex to swell with water vapor, creating a spiraling funnel cloud at its center—the first visible sign that a tornado is brewing. The cool downdraft of air then battles the funnel cloud’s upward spiral, focusing the cloud into a smaller area and increasing its speed.
How Tornadoes Form. A tornado can form in a thunderstorm where the rotating air of an updraft (shown in purple) meets the rotating air of a downdraft (shown in aqua), which has turned upward. Tornadoes only form when a thunderstorm has a particular combination of winds.
10 paź 2024 · Tornado, a small-diameter column of violently rotating air developed within a convective cloud and in contact with the ground. Tornadoes occur most often in association with thunderstorms during the spring and summer in the mid-latitudes of both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
28 sie 2019 · Tornadoes form when warm, humid air collides with cold, dry air. The denser cold air is pushed over the warm air, usually producing thunderstorms.
