AMS Glossary Word of the Month

A rotating column of air, in contact with the surface, pendant from a cumuliform cloud, and often visible as a funnel cloud and/or circulating debris/dust at the ground.

 

On a local scale, the tornado is the most intense of all atmospheric circulations. Its vortex usually rotates cyclonically (on rare occasions anticyclonically rotating tornadoes have been observed) with wind speeds as low as 30 m s-1 (67 mph) to as high as 135 m s-1 (300 mph), and is generally < 2 km (1.25 mi) in diameter.
