Supercell - some pictures and a time lapse

Song - Enya - Caribbean blue


A supercell is a severe thunderstorm with a deep, continuously rotating updraft (a mesocyclone) Of the four classifications of thunderstorms (supercell, single-cell, multi-cell, and squall line), supercells are the largest and most severe.
Supercells are usually found isolated from other thunderstorms, although they can sometimes be embedded in a squall line. Because they can last for hours, they are known as quasi-steady-state storms. Supercells have the capability to deviate from the mean wind. If they track to the right of the mean wind (relative to the vertical wind shear), they are said to be "right-movers." Alternatively, if they track to the left of the mean wind (relative to the shear), they are said to be "left-movers." Supercells can sometimes develop two separate updrafts with opposing rotations, which splits the storm into two supercells: one left-mover and one right-mover.
Supercells can be any size, large or small, low or high topped. They usually produce copious amounts of hail, torrential rainfall, strong winds, and substantial downbursts. Supercells are one of the few types of clouds that typically spawn tornadoes within the mesocyclone, although only 30% or less do so.
Supercells can occur anywhere in the world under the right pre-existing weather conditions. According to some, the first storm to be identified as such was the Wokingham storm over England, which was studied by Keith Browning and Frank Ludlam in 1962.Supercells are most frequent in the Great Plains of the United States, but occasionally occur in many mid-latitude regions.

People looking at this video, only one storm is photoshopped, but the rest are real in their appearance. The photoshopped one is obviosly the very first photo, which is a mirror image effect that is used in photoshop to give it the look of an atomic bomb explosion. I chase storms, and I can assure you that all the ones after the first photo are definetly the real deal.

That supercell on the time lapse is from Australia. You can tell that by the direction of rotation. =)
