Abstract

Tornadoes and the phenomena commonly called ball lightning are identifiable because the phenomena interconvert, there are intermediate phenomena, and the phenomena often share similar characteristics.  Because microscopic objects called microscopic ball lightning or ?plasmoids? behave like tornadoes and ball lightning, we can identify the phenomena to be part of the same class of plasmoids.
