The term "non-supercell tornado" (NST) as given by Wakimoto and Wilson (1989) or "non-mesocyclone tornado" as given by Brady and Szoke (1989) has been used to describe tornadoes associated with storms not displaying the strong pre-tornadic mid-level rotation found in supercell storms. NST's are usually associated with deep convection found along lower tropospheric boundaries possessing significant across-front horizontal shear. 2, record 1, English, - non%2Dsupercell%20tornado

[...] les tornades non-supercellulaires pour la plupart de faible intensité [...] sont parfois déclenchées le long des lignes de grains et sont beaucoup plus difficiles à prévoir du fait qu'elles dépendent de facteurs de vents très locaux.
