A vortex of rapidly moving air over water that is associated with some thunderstorms.

In general, a tornado occurring over water. Specifically, it normally refers to a small, relatively weak rotating column of air over water beneath a Cb or towering cumulus cloud. Waterspouts are most [..]

a tornado that forms over warm water

late 14c., "drainpipe," from water (n.1) + spout (n.). Meaning "whirlwind on open water" is recorded from 1738.

column of rotating cloud-filled wind that descends to an ocean or lake. Read more in the NG Education Encyclopedia

In general, any tornado over a body of water. In its most common form, a nonsupercell tornado over water. Such events consist of an intense columnar vortex (usually containing a funnel cloud) that occ [..]

(n) a tornado passing over water and picking up a column of water and mist(n) a heavy rain(n) a channel through which water is discharged (especially one used for drainage from the gutters of a roof) [..]

A column of rotating wind over water that has characteristics of a tornado. WIND CHILL

A small, weak tornado, which is not formed by a storm-scale rotation. It is generally weaker than a supercell tornado and is not associated with a wall cloud or mesocyclone. It may be observed beneath [..]

A tornado-like formation over water, usually much smaller and less vigorous than a true tornado. Waterspouts tend to occur most frequently in tropical waters.

A whirling up-current of warm, moist air, the outside of which is cooled and cloudlike. Height may be anything between 20 and some thousand of feet, width being from 20 to 500 ft. Caused by instabilit [..]

a small-diameter column of rapidly swirling and upward-moving air in contact with a water surface that sucks water into the air. Waterspouts are almost always produced by a swiftly growing cumulus clo [..]

A violently rotating column of air, usually a pendant to a cumulus or cumulonimbus cloud, over a body of water with its circulation reaching the water. In the summer and spring, these phenomena are usually "tornadoes over water" that have been generated by thunderstorms. In the fall months, these most often begin as cold air funne [..]

In general, a tornado occurring over water. Specifically, it normally refers to a small, relatively weak rotating column of air over water beneath a Cb or towering cumulus cloud. Waterspouts are most common over tropical or subtropical waters. The exact definition of waterspout is debatable. In most cases the term is reserved for small vortices ove [..]

A rapidly rotating column of air extending from a cumulonimbus cloud with a circulation that reaches the surface of the water, (i.e. a tornado over water).

A waterspout is a tornado that passes over water. It is a funnel-shaped formation of wind, water and ocean spray.

a tornado that occurs over a water surface

A small, weak tornado, which is not formed by a storm-scale rotation. It is generally weaker than a supercell tornado and is not associated with a wall cloud or mesocyclone. It may be observed beneath cumulonimbus or towering cumulus clouds and is the water equivalent of a landspout.

A violently rotating column of air usually forming a pendant from a cumulus/cumulonimbus cloud, occurring over a body of water, and having circulation reaching the water.

In the most general form, a non-supercell tornado over water. Waterspouts form in a different manner than tornadoes, and are not associated with a wall cloud, or a rotating thunderstorm. Waterspouts a [..]
