Qingdao's current marine wonders

According to Qingdao Traffic Radio, due to the cold wave weather, snowfall began to appear in some parts of Qingdao last night, mainly concentrated in the areas from Pingdu in the middle to Jiaozhou, Jimo and Chengyang in the east. With the snowfall, the temperature in the urban area has been falling all the way, and the "Haihao" spectacle has appeared in Qingdao waters.

The sea is also an evaporating fog. When the temperature of seawater is higher than the air temperature above the sea surface, seawater will evaporate, thus forming the ocean we see. The higher the temperature of the seawater above it, the thicker the evaporation fog will be. In general, the range of evaporation fog is relatively small, and its intensity is relatively weak, and it mostly appears in lakes, rivers or polar regions in the early morning of autumn and winter. In addition, when warm rain falls into the cold air below the front and the water vapor in the air is supersaturated, it is always better than steam fog.

In addition to the sea, there will be a phenomenon called waterspout on the sea surface. The waterspout, commonly known as dragon water absorption, is a tornado that occasionally appears over warm water. Compared with typhoons or tornadoes, tornadoes are smaller in diameter, but not less destructive, which will have a greater impact on maritime navigation. Tornadoes mostly occur in summer, thunderstorms and strong convective weather occur frequently, and are rare in winter.

There will also be a natural phenomenon called death icicles in the Arctic and Antarctic waters. When the temperature of seawater is low to a certain extent, seawater begins to freeze, and the salt separated from it increases the salinity of the surrounding seawater, which is lower and denser than ordinary seawater. In the process of sinking, the sea water below it forms a rapidly growing icicle, which will freeze some marine life near it and pose a threat to the sailing submersible.
