TeachMeFinance.com - explain Debris Cloud Debris Cloud The term 'Debris Cloud' as it applies to the area of the weather can be defined as ' A rotating 'cloud' of dust or debris, near or on the ground, often appearing beneath a condensation funnel and surrounding the base of a tornado. This term is similar to dust whirl, although the latter typically refers to a circulation which contains dust but not necessarily any debris. A dust plume, on the other hand, does not rotate. Note that a debris cloud appearing beneath a thunderstorm will confirm the presence of a tornado, even in the absence of a condensation funnel'.
