Simulating Storm FuturesTo conduct the study, researchers relied on a highly detailed simulation of supercell thunderstorms. While the model provides unprecedented resolution, it still misses some of the smallest and briefest supercell thunderstorms, accounting for minor discrepancies between expected and observed results. The simulation projects an annual total of 38 supercell thunderstorms on the northern slopes and 61 on the southern slopes in the coming years. Southwest France and the Iberian Peninsula, for example, may see fewer supercell thunderstorms in the future. Although supercell thunderstorms remain relatively rare, their destructive potential makes them a pressing concern.
