Supercell [is] a thunderstorm with a persistent rotating updraft. Supercells are rare, but are responsible for a remarkably high percentage of severe weather events-especially tornadoes, extremely large hail and damaging straight-line winds. They frequently travel to the right of the main environmental winds(i. e., they are right movers). Radar characteristics often(but not always) include a hook or pendant, bounded weak echo region(BWER), V-notch, mesocyclone, and sometimes a TVS [Tornado Vortex Signature]. Visual characteristics often include a rain-free base(with or without a wall cloud), tail cloud, flanking line, overshooting top, and back-sheared anvil, all of which normally are observed in or near the right rear or southwest part of the storm. Storms exhibiting these characteristics often are called classic supercells; however HP(High Precipitation) storms and LP(Low Precipitation) storms also are supercell varieties.  3, record 1, English, - classic%20supercell

The severe version of a worst-last storm is also a supercell type, and is either called a "classic supercell" (the standard supercell type) or an "LP (low-precipitation) supercell" - a dry-weather, high wind shear version. ... The classic supercell has a larger, darker appearance and accounts for most of the major tornado events everywhere.  4, record 1, English, - classic%20supercell

Les orages de queue qui sont violents sont aussi de type supercellulaire; on les appelle des orages supercellulaires classiques ou à faibles précipitations (caractérisés par la présence d'air sec et d'un fort cisaillement du vent). [...] Les orages supercellulaires classiques sont de plus grande étendue et plus sombres; ce sont eux qui produisent la plupart des tornades, quelle que soit la région.  1, record 1, French, - orage%20supercellulaire%20classique

overshooting tops : Protuberances from the top of a Cumulonimbus cloud which rise above the general upper level of the cloud or anvil before sinking back, their appearance being that of cupolas.  2, record 2, English, - overshooting%20top

Tall and persistent overshooting tops are frequently observed with strong or severe thunderstorms in which there is a nearly continuous stream of buoyant updrafts.  3, record 2, English, - overshooting%20top

sommet protubérants : Protubérances au-dessus d'un cumulonimbus qui dépassent le niveau du sommet du nuage ou de l'enclume avant de s'effondrer; elles ont l'apparence générale de dômes.  3, record 2, French, - sommet%20protub%C3%A9rant

Le cumulonimbus [...] Son sommet s'étale le plus souvent en forme d'enclume, de panache ou de chevelure désordonnée et sa base, très sombre, s'accompagne fréquemment de nuages bas déchiquetés, soudés ou non avec elle; dans certains cas, des sommets protubérants en forme de dômes surmontent l'enclume, révélant un phénomène d'«overshoot», c'est-à-dire de dépassement de la tropopause.  4, record 2, French, - sommet%20protub%C3%A9rant
