☆ Jupiter’s Great Red Spot is the oldest vortex in the solar system
  + stars: | 2024-06-22 | by ( Ashley Strickland | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +7 min
CNN —Jupiter’s iconic Great Red Spot is a massive storm that has swirled within the atmosphere of the largest planet in the solar system for years. The Great Red Spot is a massive vortex within Jupiter’s atmosphere that is about 10,159 miles (16,350 kilometers) wide, which is similar to Earth’s diameter, according to NASA. Vincenzo Pinto/AFP/Getty ImagesWhile the first two scenarios resulted in cyclones, they differed in shape and other characteristics witnessed in the Great Red Spot. But the researchers believe that the persistent atmospheric storm cell, which resulted from intense wind instability, produced the Great Red Spot. Previous research, published in March 2018, has shown that the Great Red Spot is growing taller as it shrinks in size overall.

☆ Facts About Hail, the Icy Precipitation Often Encountered in Spring and Summer

Each trip above and below freezing adds another layer of ice until the hail becomes heavy enough to fall down to Earth. The size of hail varies and can be as small as a penny or larger than apples due to varying updraft strengths said Mark Fuchs, senior service hydrologist at the National Weather Service in St. Louis, Missouri. “The stronger the updraft, the larger the hail can be ... anything bigger than two inches is really big,” said Fuchs. A hailstorm that hit Kansas City on April 10, 2001, was the costliest ever in the U.S., causing about $2 billion damage.

☆ Tornado facts: How they form and what to look for
  + stars: | 2021-04-26 | by ( Jennifer Gray | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +6 min
Scott Cunningham/Getty Images“Sometimes, it may appear that a storm is in a perfect environment for a tornado to form, yet it never does. The updrafts and downdrafts work in tandem to pull the horizontal column of air down to form the tornado. “The most telltale sign that a tornado could be forming, when you are looking at a close-range severe thunderstorm, is the ‘wall cloud,’” says Miller. The wall cloud is a lowering of the cloud base that will lead to the vortex, or spinning of air. The presence of a wall cloud doesn’t always mean a tornado will form, but it certainly ups the odds.
