Unlike other birds, most of which avoid clouds because of their turbulence, frigatebirds seem to seek them out to ride on the strong updrafts under cumulus clouds in the open ocean to gain altitude.

This would seem to prevent the firestorm from spreading on the wind, but for the fact that tremendous turbulence is also created by the strong updraft which causes the strong surface inflow winds to change direction erratically.

Initially, he believed the birds were using «wave lift» to get a boost — capitalising on gusts of wind forced upwards by the sloping edges of waves to create updrafts like those found along cliffs or mountain ridges.

In the simulation, this caused a plume of warm, moist air to rise from the lake at a top speed of 194 kilometres per hour, similar to the updraft speed in thunderstorms on Earth.

Clouds form when water condenses on particles of dust, and rain falls when condensed water droplets grow too heavy to be suspended by updrafts in the atmosphere.

Scientists know that storms with a rotating updraft on their southwestern sides — which are particularly common in the spring on the U.S. southern plains — are associated with the biggest, most severe tornadoes and also produce a lot of large hail.

These little droplets are especially light and so it is easier for them to rise to higher levels of the cloud on thermal updrafts.

One promising alternative is to represent clouds using models with grids that capture the cloud updrafts and downdrafts based on principles of conservation of momentum and energy.

The authors explain how adults» subliminal perceptions of students based on characteristics such as race, class, gender, and demeanor can result in the sorting of students into updraft and downdraft tracks.

This argument hinges on the contention that more water vapor means greater density of water droplets in the active rising updraft of the storm clouds.

But the temperature is actually controlled by the lapse rate because any infringement on the lapse rate causes the updrafts in the thunderstorm region to increase and immediately remove the excess heat by increasing the overturning circulation in the equatorial troposphere.

Anderson and his colleagues start with a new and unexpected observation, based on high - altitude flights and satellite measurements: powerful updrafts from powerful summer thunderstorms can send moisture much higher into the stratosphere than anyone had thought.

Hailstones are created so it is believed, by a more or less continuous loop of being caught in violent updrafts as found in thunderstorms, ie; above glider example, and then falling out of the updraught cell back down to lower levels where they might be caught up again in another or the same updraft cell and so accumulate water and ice on the core of the frozen hailstone over a period of anywhere from just one passage in the updraft to a number of passages which can be ascertained and recognised by the number of rings when a hailstone is dissected across its diameter.

A more conservative estimate that just accounts for climate changes in instability in the lower to middle troposphere finds that on average, although thunderstorms will have stronger updrafts, wind shear that is more often below the threshold for severe storm behavior will dominate [5].

When the gust front gets under the updraft, it pulls up on the rotating air associated with the gust front, stretching it out, and causing it to spin faster... Both the source of rotation of the mesocyclone and the tornado ultimately come from environmental vertical shear, but a tornado can actually sometimes spin in the opposite direction.
