A condensation funnel extending downward from the base of a towering cumulus or Cb, associated with a rotating column of air that is not in contact with the ground (and hence different from a tornado). A condensation funnel is a tornado, not a funnel cloud , if either a) it is in contact with the ground or b) a debris cloud or dust whirl is visible beneath it.
