2024-2 Numerical Weather Prediction
SUPERCELL
Summary
First, Precipitation
Larger supercells exhibit broader precipitation distribution, covering a more extensive area, whereas smaller supercells produce more localized and concentrated rainfall patterns.
Second, Intensity
Larger supercells demonstrated stronger updrafts in their mesocyclones and more powerful wind shear, indicating more intense storm development.
Third, Instability
Larger supercells exhibited faster stabilization through more efficient vertical mixing, as shown by their rapid CAPE reduction and faster expansion of humid regions.
