A '''satellite tornado''' is a [[tornado]] that revolves around a larger, primary tornado and interacts with the same [[mesocyclone]]. Satellite tornadoes occur apart from the primary tornado and are not considered [[Multiple vortex tornado|subvortices]]; the primary tornado and satellite tornadoes are considered to be separate tornadoes. The cause of satellite tornadoes is not known. Such tornadoes are more often [[Anticyclonic tornado|anticyclonic]] than are typical tornadoes and these pairs may be referred to as tornado couplets.<ref name="Storm Talk">{{cite book |last=Marshall |first=Tim |author-link=Timothy P. Marshall |others=David Hoadley (illust.) |title=Storm Talk |year=1995 |location=Texas }}</ref> Satellite tornadoes commonly occur in association with very powerful, large, and destructive tornadoes, indicative also of the strength and severity of the parent [[supercell thunderstorm]].<ref>{{cite web |last
Satellite tornadoes are relatively uncommon. When a satellite tornado does occur, there is often more than one orbiting satellite spawned during the life cycle of the tornado or with successive primary tornadoes spawned by the parent [[supercell]] (a process known as [[Tornadogenesis|cyclic tornadogenesis]] and leading to a [[tornado family]]). On [[tornado outbreak]] days, if satellite tornadoes occur with one supercell, there is an elevated probability of their occurrence with other supercells.{{citation needed|date=March 2014}}
