Internet Colors - Set of 1035 Waterspout Color 1008 - #A4F4F9
A waterspout is an intense columnar vortex (usually appearing as a
funnel-shaped cloud) that occurs over a body of water, connected to a
cumuliform cloud. In the common form, it is a non-super cell tornado over
water. While it is often weaker than most of its land counterparts, stronger
versions spawned by mesocyclones do occur. Waterspouts do not suck up
water; the water seen in the main funnel cloud is actually water droplets
formed by condensation. While many waterspouts form in the tropics, other
areas also report waterspouts, including Europe, New Zealand, the Great Lakes
and Antarctica. Although rare, waterspouts have been observed in
connection with lake-effect snow precipitation bands.
