Hi all,
I was chasing extreme wind event at the coasts of Adriatic sea, gusts were exceding 150km/h. During the event I've noticed numerous of small vortexes around the gulf and also over the open sea. Here are some pics that you can imagine what I mean:
(notice two vortexes on the right side)
(a wide vortex)
(this is how it looks when wind smashes into the sea)
(another pretty obvious vortex)
I've also noticed these vortex forms in my last chase few weeks ago. There were no cumulus or any other convective clouds, just the usual Ac/As clouds.
What do you think could cause these small vortex to form?
Here are all pics from this event:
