3D Visualization of the Anatomy of a Tornado!

Jim Cantore gives an INCREDIBLE step-by-step description and 3D view into how a tornado forms - like you've never seen before!

[@johnhempstead2381]

What software and hardware was used to create this? Thanks

[@bobbg9041]

Living in tornado ally for over 50 years I belive there is more to how a tornado forms. Think how lift of hot humid air causes cold ice balls to form and how a wall cloud looks as its rolling in like a big Ciminion roll making large hail stones That eventually fall, cold falls as hot moisture is pushed upward this action is just like pulling the plug on a sink full.of water a funnel forms. In the northern hemphare it spins counter clock wise in the southern it spins clock wise and so do storms. What I belive is the common roll gets too heavy in one part and starts to fall pushing hot air up. This is why you sometimes get more then one funnel becuse the first one cant displace enough cold to make up for the temperature change as the cold falls it sucks in more heated moisture air so you get wind shifting and rotations. If a storm is comming a long way off it pulls air into it, then when the storm is passing over its pushing air away. Once it colder outside the storm has passed and its safer.

[@ShreyaChoudhuryMusic]

How incredible! Mr. Cantore explained this segment so well!

[@hothotheat3000]

Why do we get so many more tornadoes than the rest of the world?

[@mistylover7398]

🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🌪🤷‍♂️

[@herisuryadi6885]

Geography

[@peternemeth1777]

Because the conditions that are needed for a tornado to form are nowhere better. You have the middle of the USA where winds can travel long distances unhindered because there are hardly any mountains there that would otherwise stop the winds. So cold winds from the north can travel very far southwards and warm winds that come from the south from the gulf of mexico can travel far to the north. Tornadoes need thunderclouds to form. When the warm air with a certain speed meets the cold air that flows from west to east coming from the rocky mountains thunderclouds form where the air masses meet. The warm air flows up the cloud and the higher the air rises the more the windspeeds intensify. Because the air masses travel in different directions one from west to east and the other from south to north this causes a rotation in the thundercloud. A so called supercell developes. This is the cloud that is capable to develop tornadoes. This explanation is very simplified because I didn't include in it the role of moisture for the development of thunderclouds and didn't explain the role of warm dry air that developes in higher regions of the rocky mountains that flow to the east and didn't explain that the winds change direction in high altidude. The mechanics of this is a bit more complicated in reality but in simple terms this is the reason why the USA has the most tornadoes.

[@dougszymanik1158]

if usa ,has more tornadoes than any other couintry is it enviromental ,man made or is their a source only usa has ,other countries don't ,just asking

[@planetlightforce]

+doug szymanik Nexrad tornado creation

[@dccaleb5529]

doug szymanik It's because the USA is in the prime spot on Earth where cold and warm air meet during spring/summer to form supercells.

[@Wildc4rd]

It's just the geography. Hurricanes originates from Africa and move with the wind current towards west (i.e US), and they die down there.

[@jonathanpowell613]

In America, in the Midwest and South in particular, cold, dry air from Canada collides with warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico. This creates supercell thunderstorms, and if conditions are just right, a funnel cloud can form from the storm's base. If the funnel hits the ground, it becomes a tornado.

[@ram5ramen582]

doug szymanik. The tornados are only in USA because of the mountains that make the cold air draft twirl with the warm draft

[@chaderickson7859]

[@henzelmen]

I understand its a huge vacuum cleaner and suckingit al up but.....why is it rotating? Which force is there that starts the rotating? Why is the air not going strait up, its a shorter way then first spinning 1000 rounds or so. Thanks in advance.

[@hypercubemaster2729]

Warm air rising when cold air moves toward it starts a rolling rotation on the ground, which gets lifted vertically by the updraft.

What causes "hook echo"?

[@bradballard5400]

Emily Cooley-Young rotation

[@peternemeth1777]

If I remember correctly this belong to the doppler radar. For this the motion of raindrops in a stormcloud get measured by the radar. Where the hook on the radar is, is the point where the rotation of the winds are strongest indicated by the movement of the raindrops. The hook is most likely where the tornado is or the funnel of it. Something like that I remember but not quite sure.

[@ShreyaChoudhuryMusic]

What is a hook echo?

[@hypercubemaster2729]

@@peternemeth1777 It moreso becomes manifest by debris, because it shows extreme size abnormalities in precipitation.

[@fredtheysoldoursouls.4335]

If it a haarp tornado the starting hook rotation will be backward.

Either the hook is in the SE or maybe anticyclonic
