What does Dongguan Dragon Absorb Water mean?

Dragon water absorption in Dongguan refers to the strange natural phenomenon of dragon water absorption in the Pearl River Estuary between Humen and Nansha in Dongguan at noon in June 2020. The so-called dragon water absorption refers to the strong convective weather that occurs on the sea surface or on rivers and lakes.

Generation principle:

Hose is commonly known as dragon sucking water or dragon hanging water. A waterspout is a tornado that occasionally appears on warm water. Its upper end is connected with thunderstorm clouds, and its lower end directly reaches the water surface, rotating and moving at the same time.

A waterspout is a tornado that occasionally appears on warm water. In essence, this is a vortex, and the air rotates rapidly around the axis of the tornado. Attracted by the extremely low air pressure in the center of the tornado, the water flow is sucked into the bottom of the vortex and then becomes a vortex around the axis. If there is an upward rotating tornado moving to the sea surface, a waterspout will also be formed in the process of moving.

Many waterspouts are formed far away from the thunderstorm system, even in fairly clear weather. The waterspout can be quite transparent. When it is just formed, it will only be noticed through its unusual pattern on the water. Hose can suck ships and seawater into the air. More interestingly, in the summer of southern hemisphere 1949, the "Yu Yu" occurred in New Zealand, and fish fell from the sky, which was the role of the sea tornado.
