As the crystals take on moisture, they may become too heavy for updrafts to support.

Water + seeds + updraft = clouds.

This is because terrestrial hurricanes form when an inflow of air along the ocean surface sops up moisture and rises in a halo of updrafts to create towering columns of rain clouds.

Similar but larger particles are known to play a role in feeding powerful, fast - moving updrafts of air from the land surface to the atmosphere, creating the clouds that play a central role in the formation of water droplets that fall as rain.

Unlike existing models, FV3 can also re-create vertical air currents that move between boxes, such as the updrafts that are a key element of hurricanes as well as tornadoes and thunderstorms.

The birds ride on the strong updrafts under cumulus clouds in the open ocean to gain altitude.

An instrument - laden light aircraft penetrated the towering smoke plume of the fire, registering an 80 mile per hour updraft of hot, buoyant air, followed by a turbulent downdraft.

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.

This lets them coast for more than 60 kilometres until they find another updraft.

The international team examined vertical wind motion, or updrafts, and aerosol concentration data from one of these stations from March to May 2014.

Such updrafts intensify storms, helping to drive stronger circulation.

The intensity of the downdrafts and updrafts is vital, because in the end there needs to be a lot of stretching, which is when you take that existing rotation and turn it into something really violent like a tornado.

The heat would rise, creating updrafts and quickly strengthening the storm.

But for a tornado to form, you still need to tilt the rotation into the vertical, and this requires a nearby updraft.

But the observations described in the new study don't definitively demonstrate that ultrafine aerosols alone drive updrafts, Quaas adds.

Hailstones are produced by severe summer thunderstorms, when frozen water droplets are tossed within a cloud and accumulate bulk until they're too heavy for the updrafts to support.

Creating a supercell takes moisture, updraft, spin, and then the trigger — a boundary between hot and cold air masses.

If the column is snagged in a supercell updraft, funnel - shaped clouds form.

«The eyewall and its updraft typically slope outward at angles from 30 to 60 degrees,» he explains.

Due to the heating of the surface in connection with sufficient humidity, a warm updraft is released in the atmosphere.

Still, he also cautions against the assumption that rainpower is the only factor impacting hurricane intensity, as not all the eyewall's rain falls directly down through the updraft.

For nearly a century, scientists had assumed Jupiter's weather worked like Earth's, with light zones forming around updrafts just as white clouds condense around rising currents here.

Activity within the eyewall is closely connected to the hurricane's overall intensity, with the vertical updraft fed by an inward - spiraling, ocean - hugging wind whose average speed is the highest across the whole storm.

Burning embers from the bark of trees were carried aloft by shifting winds and updrafts of the fire's own convection currents for up to 20 miles, jumping across roads, clearing fire breaks, and starting new blazes on the parched ground.

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.

Clearly, these aren't the conditions to create thermal updrafts — rising pockets of hot air that hawks and vultures ride like elevators.
