What's the matter with the dragon sucking water in Jiujiang?

On August 2 1 day, around 16, a rare "dragon sucking water" was found on the longtan lake Lake in Dasha, duchang county, Jiujiang City, and the water column soared into the sky. Nearby villagers gathered around and captured this rare spectacle from many angles.

Tornadoes are small whirlpools of air between the ground and clouds. What appears on land is called "land tornado" and what appears in water is called "waterspout". Tornado is a slender linear object formed by rotating wind rolling up dust or water column, which looks like the magical "dragon" in myths and legends, so it was called "tornado" or "dragon hanging" in ancient China.

Conditions for tornado production

Tornado conditions include near-surface wind shear, vertical motion and energy instability. Thunderstorm is an ideal environment that can meet the above conditions, and it is also the main cause of tornado. Among them, the tornado caused by supercell is called supercell tornado, and other cases are called non-supercell tornado. Supercell tornadoes account for 80% of the total number of tornadoes, and their intensity and development scale are usually larger than those of non-supercell tornadoes.

Tornado is a meteorological disaster. Modern weather forecast can warn tornadoes through high-frequency observation, but it requires high forecasting experience. In addition, some areas also carry out manual observation and data collection on tornadoes, that is, the "storm tracking" project.
