There are some sections here that are difficult to understand for non-experts and require expansion. eg. "They form during the growth stage of convective clouds by the ingestion and tightening of boundary layer vorticity by the cumuliform tower's updraft."Shorvath 06:43, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
Why is there an updraft?: The presence of an updraft is invoked to explain developments in the following sentence of the article without explaining why or how an updraft should exist in this situation: "As the mesocyclone lowers below the cloud base, it begins to take in cool, moist air from the downdraft region of the storm. This convergence of warm air in the updraft,....". As a naive reader, I find this confusing. This also occurs in the "Tornado" article. Nkennington (talk) 22:06, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

It would be nice to see a reference to Western Universities new WindEEE facility, although I'm not sure how best to add it to this article. http://www.eng.uwo.ca/windeee It is the worlds first hexagonal wind tunnel and will be able to reproduce (simulate) up to EF3 tornadoes.

Some section rearranging.
I've moved the "Landspout" section to make it a subsection of "Waterspout" in here. This seems like a more sensible way to structure the article because a full discussion of "Landspout" makes little sense without having "Waterspout" as an anchor, since the two are intrinsically related. If anyone thinks this is a mistake, feel free to change it - I do think, however, that "Landspout" would be better coming after "Waterspout," even if it's promoted to the same level heading.

Needs to be updated a bit
With the mobile doppler radar technology of the last 15 years, it has been found in every case that all tornadoes (yes, all... supercell tornadoes as well as waterspouts and landspouts) begin at the surface (within the low-level mesocyclone... all tornadoes have one, including waterspouts and landspouts) and develop from the surface upward into the storm. After developing upward into the mid-level mesocyclone, the rotation in that region is drawn downward, and when it extends below storm cloud base, the funnel cloud forms, from storm cloud base downward to the surface. The tornado is already "on the ground" (and can be causing damage, even major damage) before the funnel cloud begins to form because the tornado starts at the ground. As Ted Fujita (Mr. Tornado) said back in the 1950's... "The tornado and the funnel cloud are not the same thing nor are they coincident."
