Supercell Structure
Supercells have a common structure,
as can be seen by the left diagram below. Computer model
visualizations (below right) can capture most of this structure.
Supercells are characteristically tall storms -- reaching way up
into the stratosphere. The main updraft
and downdraft mutually support one another leading to a long lasting storm.
