Rotating Updrafts

Rotating Updrafts is a meteorological phenomenon characterized by a vertically oriented, persistent updraft within a convective storm that acquires and maintains rotational motion through the tilting and stretching of environmental vorticity, distinguishing it from non-rotating updrafts by its role in facilitating mesocyclogenesis and supporting supercell thunderstorm structure.
