[Do Supercells Interact Destructively With Complex Terrain?]

@Keraunophile

Many thanks, thats exactly what I´m looking for ;-)

@all

Thanks for answering :-) What about West Virginia? Are there statistics available about the supercell frequenzy in West Virginia compared to other regions? I´ve heard, that supercells are rare in that region due to the complex terrain. West Virginia is surrounded by very complex topography.

[Do Supercells Interact Destructively With Complex Terrain?]

Hy,

sometimes I read that supercells are much more common in flat regions than in terrain with complex topography. Is that right? Can supercells interact destructively with complex underlying terrain? (large hilly or mountainous terrain, large Mountain ridges, etc...?) I know that under right Conditions supercells can also form in complex terrain. But is there a trend, that supercells are less common /weaker in complex terrain due to the complex wind shear or other effects?
