Description
A waterspout is a small-diameter column of rapidly swirling air in contact with a water surface. Waterspouts are almost always produced by a swiftly growing cumulus cloud. They are a funnel-shaped or tubular portion of a cloud over the ocean or other body of water that, laden with mist and spray, resembles a solid column of water reaching upward to the cloud from which it hangs. Waterspouts are closely related to other atmospheric phenomena such as tornadoes, whirlwinds, and fire storms.
