- Winds and air motion in supercells: inflow/outflow zone
- W021612Z
- Winds and air motion in supercells. This view highlights the zone between air entering (inflow) and exiting (outflow) a supercell storm. At left is a dark, deep cloud with a low base, representing the storm's organized updraft with embedded, rotating mesocyclone. Air rises to great heights and drops precipitation over a large area as it spreads out and forward at right. The large gap between the warm updraft and cooler downdraft with rain is an important feature of supercells.
