Why Do Supercell Updrafts Rotate? | Deep Dive into Mesocyclone Dynamics

Описание: 🌪 The Origin of Supercell Updraft Rotation – Explained Deeply
In this deep-dive video, we uncover the dynamical origins of rotating updrafts in supercell thunderstorms and the foundation of mesocyclones.

🌀 Why do some storms rotate? What makes a supercell different from a regular thunderstorm?

We break down the physics behind this process using the supercell equation:

dζ/dt = -V · ∇ζ + ζ · ∂w/∂z + ωₕ · ∇ₕw

Covering advection, stretching, and tilting of vorticity, we connect theory to real-world storm dynamics.

📌 What you'll learn:
✅ The role of horizontal and vertical vorticity
✅ How storm-relative wind and streamwise vorticity shape rotation
✅ Why stretching and tilting are essential for mesocyclogenesis
✅ What triggers cyclostrophic pressure cores and dynamic updrafts
✅ How a non-rotating storm evolves into a mesocyclone-bearing supercell

This video is aimed at weather enthusiasts, students, and meteorologists who want a solid conceptual and mathematical understanding of supercells — without needing to be a mathematician.

🧠 No heavy math required — just imagination, curiosity, and a love for storms.
