Mesoscale meteorology is the study of weather systems and processes at horizontal scales of approximately 5 kilometres (3 mi) to several hundred kilometres. It is smaller than synoptic-scale systems (1,000 km or larger) but larger than microscale (less than 1 km).
Mesoscale may refer to: Mesoscale meteorology; Mesoscopic scale in physics; Mesoscale manufacturing; Mesoscale eddies This page was last edited on ...
Mesoscopic physics is a subdiscipline of condensed matter physics that deals with materials of an intermediate size. These materials range in size between the nanoscale for a quantity of atoms (such as a molecule) and of materials measuring micrometres. [1]
A mesoscale convective complex (MCC) is a unique kind of mesoscale convective system which is defined by characteristics observed in infrared satellite imagery. Their area of cold cloud tops exceeds 100,000 square kilometres (39,000 sq mi) with temperature less than or equal to −32 °C (−26 °F); and an area of cloud top of 50,000 square ...
In meteorology and climatology, a mesonet, portmanteau of mesoscale network, is a network of automated weather and, often also including environmental monitoring stations, designed to observe mesoscale meteorological phenomena and/or microclimates. [3] [4] Dry lines, squall lines, and sea breezes are examples of phenomena observed by mesonets.
A mesoscale convective vortex (MCV), also known as a mesoscale vorticity center or Neddy eddy, [9] is a mesocyclone within a mesoscale convective system (MCS) that pulls winds into a circling pattern, or vortex, at the mid levels of the troposphere and is normally associated with anticyclonic outflow aloft, with a region of aeronautically ...
A mesoscale convective complex (MCC) is a unique kind of mesoscale convective system which is defined by characteristics observed in infrared satellite imagery. They are long-lived, often form nocturnally, and commonly contain heavy rainfall , wind , hail , lightning , and possibly tornadoes .
randomness does not enter. These approximations of the macroscale model can all be refined in analogous microscale models. On the first approximation listed above—that birth and death rates are constant—the macroscale model of Figure 1 is exactly the mean of a large number of stochastic trials with the growth rate fluctuating randomly in ...
