龍捲風

Also known as tornadoes, whirlwind, twister

強烈對流天氣

AI overview

A tornado is a rapidly rotating column of air that extends from the ground up to a cloud base, often visible as a funnel with swirling debris and dust. Tornadoes matter because they can be dangerous and destructive—while most are relatively small and short-lived, the most extreme ones can produce very high wind speeds and cause significant damage over large areas.

龍捲風，又稱龍捲、捲風，是一種猛烈的天氣現象，由直立中空管狀的強烈旋轉氣球構成。龍捲風常發生於積雨雲或是積雨雲以下，並通常形成上大下小的漏斗狀，延伸至地面，並且常被尘土或碎片残骸等包围。极少数情况下龍捲風也可能從積雲發起。無論是陸地上的「陸龍捲」或是海面上的「水龍捲」，發生條件均基本上需要極不穩定的空氣擾動，或高溫高濕空氣與冷空氣的劇烈輻合作用。因此，龍捲風常發生於中緯度溫帶氣旋及強烈對流雷雨附近。龍捲風漏斗狀的雲稱為「漏斗雲」或「管狀雲」。通常，龙卷风的直径约在75米（246英尺）左右，风速通常在64公里每小時（18米每秒）到177公里每小時（49米每秒）之間，總移動距離約在數公里。一些大型龙卷风风速可超过480公里每小時（130米每秒），直径达1.6公里（1.0英里），移动路径超过100公里。虽然除南极洲外的每块大陆都有龙卷风，但美国遭受的龙卷风比任何国家或地区都多。除此之外，龙卷风在加拿大南部、亚洲中南部和东部、南美洲中东部、非洲南部、欧洲西北部和东南部、澳大利亚西部和东南部以及新西兰等地区皆常出现。
