The pressure at the bottom of the tornado vortex is greater than or less than the pressure around the water surface (greater than or less than the pressure at the top of the tornado).

Tornado is actually a low-pressure system on the ground, that is, the low pressure on the ground (the air pressure is lower than the same level); The higher the altitude, the lower the air pressure.

Therefore, the air pressure at the bottom of the tornado vortex is less than that of the surrounding water surface, and the air pressure at the top of the tornado is less than that at the bottom.
