Talk:Supercell

message: There is a tornado reference in here, that says tornadoes are most common in North America (though this article mentions the USA in particular); however, the UK has more tornadoes per mile than anywhere else in the world.  Maybe the tornado reference should be changed if not gotten rid of.
There is also a reference to super-cells being most common in the US great plains. An unverified and US-centric statement.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.253.129.2 (talk) 20:43, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

message: If this current reworking stands ('major overhaul' in the history), then this will just be the beginning. I'd like to take this one on and fully illustrate it with PD NOAA imagery and add sections on evolution and identification. Also, I'm in a bit of a dilemma with the North American centered directional cues in talking about structure and movement. If they don't bother anybody I guess they can stay, as the majority of these storms do occur in this region (or at least the majority of interest).--demonburrito 17:00, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: In meteorology (in the Northern Hemisphere at least), one learns from a North Hemisphere "bias" on how many weather systems (like Supercells) move through the atmosphere.  One can usually just reverse a lot of the directional information in order to apply it to the Southern Hemisphere. Guy1890 (talk) 22:22, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

message: * The image for the high precipitation variation is not very good, and readers aren't really told what distinctive formations to look for.  If there aren't any visual characteristics to look for, perhaps a radar shot would be more illustrative.
* The formation process and relationships between vertical and horizontal movement are still a bit murky.  Looking at the diagrams, it seems the formation of the mesocyclone and rotation about a horizontal axis does not entirely destroy a system of rough rotation about a horizontal axis (given the strong updrafts and downdrafts).  How a horizontal axis can be made vertical like that is a bit unclear, mechanically.  Does it involve the effects of impacts with the ground or inversion layers?  Why is the shape so characteristic, and why does the mesocyclone tend to form in a particular quadrant? A diagram might help.  Certainly a vertical cross-section showing wind patterns in general would be helpful.  
* The relationship between the supercell and weather fronts (when they are involved) is not well explained.  One of the diagrams shows some front symbols; these also need to be explained.

message: Seeing that a merge tagwas placed on mesocyclone today, with a discussion link to here, I would like to state my (initial, at least) opposition to such a merge. Mesocyclones are not specifically related to supercells, and I'm sure that even if they were, there is enough science and research behind them to warrant an article of its own. Crimsone 02:09, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed.  Often a wikilink to mesocyclones is needed seperate from supercell.  Plus, they are closely related but still seperate topics. -RunningOnBrains 04:28, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Mesocyclones when *almost* always referred to are understood to be within a supercell, but are distinct phenomena and both warrant articles (as do misocyclone and mesovortex and probably others). Evolauxia 18:10, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge of [[Mesocyclone]] into this article

message: Supercells can be very severe, but aren't the largest storms at all! Remember that supercells are still single cell storms and in terms of size they can't be compared to large mesoscale convective systems (consisting of dozens of cells)! It's rare that a supercell is larger than 60-80 km in length or 50 km in width (looking at a radar reflectivity). Some largest mesoscale convective systems' reflectivities are measured in hundreds of kilometers.
And one more thing. Why were supercell visual and radar features taken away? They ware important parts of this article and therefore now the article is worse than it was some time ago--1123581321 (talk) 15:05, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Supercell aren't largest storms, why were visual and radar features removed? 

message: I added a section cleanup tag.  It either needs to be rewritten or removed.  The flow does not match the rest of the article. --D3matt (talk) 15:34, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

message: None of the images currently in the article appear to adequately show the distinct features of a supercell. I looked on Flickr and there seem to be lots of freely licensed images that could be used here, but I'm not familiar enough with the subject to choose one. Could someone with more expertise please take a look? --101.108.112.135 (talk) 12:32, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

message: In many places throughout this article/entry, the "North American" version is specifically stated and described in detail; yet NONE of the other 'regional' supercell versions are given the same type/amount of detailed coverage with accompanying graphics/pictures.
Why not?
If the North American version is that different or unique, shouldn't the other versions be EQUALLY discussed/covered/mentioned?
Just curious.  2600:8800:50B:6700:C23F:D5FF:FEC5:89B6 (talk) 00:47, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

message: Hey all - just been doing a bit of cleanup on a few of the severe weather articles, and the "Idealized view of an LP supercell" picture (under "Supercell variations") is just... bugging me.  I don't have the time right now to look on Commons for a better image to use there (will be going out of town soon), but I figured if we could get a few heads together, surely someone can come up with a better image for that?  The picture that's there is just hideous, and I feel like we can do better.  I'll probably see if I can find something better when I get back from my trip, but I thought I'd post something on the talk page here to see if maybe some other editors can keep their eyes peeled in the meantime.
