A storm cell is an air mass that contains up and down drafts in convective loops and that moves and reacts as a single entity, functioning as the smallest unit of a storm-producing system.
storm cell. An air mass that contains up and down drafts in convective loops, moves and reacts as a single entity, and functions as the smallest unit of a storm-producing system. Discover More.
Learn about different types of thunderstorms, such as single-cell, multi-cell, squall line, supercell, and bow echo. Find out how they form, how they affect the weather, and how to identify them on radar.

Analyze storm-cell characteristics, determined algorithmically. Locate potential hail and even rotation in real-time. Experimental software.
With an updraft, downdraft, and rain, the cloud is now called a cumulonimbus cloud and the cycling of air up and down is called a thunderstorm cell. The moving air within the cloud builds up electric charges as it slides past other air.
Supercell. Short reference to Supercell Thunderstorm; potentially the most dangerous of the convective storm types. Storms possessing this structure have been observed to generate the vast majority of long-lived strong and violent (F2-F5) tornadoes, as well as downburst damage and large hail.
