A supercell thunderstorm is a severe long-lived storm in which the wind speed and direction changes with height. It comprises a strong rotating updraft of warm air,known as a mesocyclone,and a separate downdraft of cold air. When a tornado forms in the mesocyclone,the storm is classified as a tornadic supercell thunderstorm. Photographed in Kingman County,Kansas,USA | |
