Waterspouts pose a significant threat for coastal areas, maritime activitiesand structures and thus their study is essential. They are frequentlyoccurring in the Mediterranean Sea and particularly in the northern coasts.A vulnerable area of waterspout formation is the Ionian Sea according torecent research and especially the water body around Corfu Island, Greece.The Laboratory of Climatology and Atmospheric Environment of the Universityof Athens has assembled a detailed database of waterspout events, providingadditional information such as location and time of these events; valuableinformation for the methodology followed.  In this study, the waterspout data base concerns events from 20 March 2007to 31 December 2013. Thus, a total of 74 events were recorded andcatalogued on 47 days, as there were days with multiple waterspout events.The aim of this study is to investigate the temporal evolution of brightnesstemperature on tops of waterspout parent clouds that triggered the formationof single or multiple waterspout events, based on the aforementioneddatabase. The cloud top temperature was assessed by using channel at10.8 μm MSG SEVIRI Level 1.5 Image Data product. The minimum brightnesstemperature of the cloud top around the waterspout location for fourdifferent examined radiuses was estimated during 60 min prior to andafter waterspout formation. Results are illustrated in terms of seasonalanalysis. During autumn season a decrease of brightness temperature (coldervalues) was detected at waterspout parent cloud close to waterspoutformation
