Supercell thunderstorms are perhaps the most violent of all thunderstorm types, and are capable of producing damaging winds, large hail, and weak-to-violent tornadoes.
For example, on supercell hodograph, winds at 1 km altitude are from the southeast, stronger from the south at 2 km, with winds increasing in speed (longer vectors from (0,0) point to each dot) and veering to southwest at higher altitudes.
HP supercells occur in environments with rich low-level moisture and moderate-to-strong wind shear, and are a threat for tornadoes, large hail, damaging winds, and flash flooding.

A simple definition for a supercell would be: a thunderstorm with a deep persistent rotating updraft (mesocyclone).
Supercells are rare, but are responsible for most severe weather events - especially tornadoes.
Supercells tend to travel to the right of the main steering winds which chasers call right movers.

 Supercell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A supercell is a severe thunderstorm with a deep rotating updraft (a mesocyclone).
Supercells derive their rotation through tilting of horizontal vorticity (an invisible horizontal vortex) caused by wind shear.
The HP supercell is the most common type of supercell in the United States east of the Mississippi River and in the southern parts of the provinces of Ontario and Quebec in Canada.

Large, long-lasting thunderstorms known as "supercells" are responsible for producing the strongest tornadoes, large hail and other dangerous winds.
The rotating, rising column of air known as a "mesocyclone" is the heart of a supercell.
Supercells can last for hours, moving hundreds of miles because their falling rain doesn't cut off the supply of warm, humid air.

 NWS Norman, Oklahoma - Weather Glossary for Storm Spotters
*Supercell - A thunderstorm with a persistent rotating updraft.
Triple point also may refer to a point on the gust front of a supercell, where the warm moist inflow, the rain-cooled outflow from the forward flank downdraft, and the rear flank downdraft all intersect; this point is a favored location for tornado development (or redevelopment).
The V-notch often is seen on supercells, and is thought to be a sign of diverging flow around the main storm updraft (and hence a very strong updraft).

 Supercell Thunderstorms: thunderstorms with deep rotating updrafts
In fact, the major difference between supercell and multicell storms is the element of rotation in supercells.
The flanking line of the supercell behaves differently than that of the multicell cluster storm, in that updraft elements usually merge into the main rotating updraft and then explode vertically, rather than develop into separate and competing thunderstorm cells.
The demarcation between supercell and multicell storms is most important, obviously much more so than that between single cell and multicell storms, or between multicell and squall line storms.

 The Supercell
Supercells are the ultimate and most efficient of all storms, as the main parent of tornadoes and are producers of the most severe weather.
In a supercell this updraught twists up in to the cloud and is the cause of it's excellent organisation, which leads t to become the most powerful type of storms.
A Supercell is classified "severe" at some stage, but for any storm to be classed severe it needs to meet a certain standard.

 4.6 Supercell calculations
The supercell method is the ubiquitous approach for the study of solid-state periodic boundary condition systems.
This consideration applies to all electronic structure methods, and the best general solution is to use a limited number of repeats of a primitive cell combined with periodic boundary conditions, as illustrated in figure 4.2.
Periodic boundary conditions are applied and all interactions are periodic with the periodicity of the supercell.

 supercells
Supercells are a rarity: Doswell (1985) estimates that they account for only 5% of severe storms in the eastern U.S. with slightly higher values in the Great Plains.
HP supercells are particularly dangerous because a tornado can be obscured by sheets of rain and hail, making it nearly impossible for the public to see the vortex.
The right-turning (equatorward) supercell often does not move with the mean relative wind and is more likely to produce tornadoes due to the fact the cell is cyclonic.

 Supercell™ Coating Technology
Due to Supercell™ Coating Technology’s unique air distribution plate design, the tablets move quickly and predictably through the spray zone, receiving only a small amount of coating per pass, and therefore achieving higher coating accuracy.
Supercell™ Coating Technology allows for coating of friable tablets, as well as, flat or highly oblong tablet shapes.
The SUPERCELL™ process involves rapid rotation of tablets as they pass continuously through the coating zone potentially allowing for very uniform film formation on all surfaces of the tablets.

 Supercell in Hurricane Bertha   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
This is a two-panel NEXRAD WSR-88D (Doppler radar) image of a supercell thunderstorm over Delaware Bay, near Cape May NJ, on the outer fringes of Hurricane Bertha, taken at 12:39 a.m.
Supercells in hurricanes often have small, very subtle, short-lived, and/or very shallow mesocyclones, forcing the radar observer to be exceptionally diligent.
This supercell was also uncommon in that it was quite isolated -- very far from any other thunderstorms in the circulation of the hurricane.

 Definition of a Classic Supercell - Stormtrack
Classic supercells are the biggest tornado producers (and are responsible for the most violent tornadoes)...
That supercell was a very strong, persistant cyclic supercell and produced at least seven different tornadoes in just a couple hours.
IMO the distinguishing characteristic of a classic supercell is a healthy precip core with a well-separated updraft region.

 June 6, 2004 North Dakota supercell
We became increasingly confident as the dryline noted in the 17Z observations moved east into western North Dakota by late afternoon, increasing low-level convergence and ascent in that region where low-level moisture continued to increase.
Whenever you see such a supercell and nightfall is close, plan to get downstream of this feature and set up for lightning photography because the lightning here is usually unparalleled in frequency and intensity.

 Supercell definition
That definition is that a supercell is a convective storm that possesses a deep, persistent mesocyclone.
Moreover, many if not all of the storm structures and evolution that prevail in other parts of the world do occur also in the Great Plains, but those storms have not been subjected to the same degree of scrutiny as the "classic" storms upon which too-broad generalizations were made.
The definition of a supercell matters to an operational forecaster only to the extent that the probability of a given severe weather event changes when those events are partitioned between supercell and non-supercell storms.

 SUPERCELL TYPES: LP, CLASSIC, HP
LP supercells in the U.S. primarily occur in the Lee of the Rockies while HP supercells are common in the Eastern Great Plains and eastward.
TORNADOES (tornadoes tend to be weaker in association with LP supercells as compared to other supercell types because the forward flank downdraft and rear flank downdrafts are not as well defined and the storm is higher based).
LP supercells tend to be higher based than the other supercell types because air must rise to a higher level in the troposphere in order for condensation to occur.

 Xcellerex - supercell
Supercell™ is a CHO DG44 parental cell line coupled with a proprietary expression vector.
Supercell™ was created because classical transfection is a random event in which the gene of interest integrates randomly into the genome of the host cell.
The vast majority of these recombination events occur in loci which are “silent” or disrupt other processes of the cell.

 Calhoun County Arkansas Supercell Casestudy
This is especially true since supercell thunderstorms produce a disproprotionately large amount of severe weather despite their relative rarity.
Given the extreme to which this supercell moved to the right after the apparent merger, the resultant increase in SR winds, especially in the 2-3 km layer, was dramatic.
In this paper, SRH is used in the context of its reliability in forecasting the potential for supercells, as noted by Moller et al.
