Severe Thunderstorm Ingredients. The development of a thunderstorm is dependent upon three primary ingredients: atmospheric instability, moisture and a lifting mechanism. Severe thunderstorms, and supercell thunderstorms in particular, also require vertical wind shear.
Tropical cyclones, extra-tropical cyclones, and thunderstorms are the three fundamental types of storms studied by the climate change community. (Image Â©2013 EUMETSAT.). Thunderstorms are the smallest type, and they are often part of the larger storm systems (tropical and extra-tropical cyclones). All storms require moisture, energy, and certain wind conditions to develop, but the combination of ingredients varies depending on the type of storm and local meteorological conditions.
