Mesoscale Meteorology
This field of study involves the investigation of phenomena and processes smaller than the synoptic scale but larger than the micro scale. These include atmospheric convection, mesoscale convective systems, circulations associated with land and sea breezes, orography, surface heterogeneities, fronts, coastal boundaries, gravity currents and waves, mesoscale instabilities, urban effects on weather, and air quality. Investigations use both observational and modeling approaches. Field experiments include the use of radar and satellite imagery, aircraft measurements, soundings, and surface observations.
