steam devils
Gentle whirls of foggy air that form within steam fog when cold air advects over a warmer body of water or saturated surface; analogous to dust devils, except that water droplets are the tracers that make the whirl visible. These are usually shallow phenomena in the surface layer of a thermal internal boundary layer.
