Analytical Mesometeorology: A Review

  • Chapter
Severe Local Storms

Part of the book series: Meteorological Monographs ((METEOR,volume 5))

Abstract

In discussing the value of weather radar in meteorological research, Lidga (1951) recognized a scale too gross to be observed from a single station in the usual manner, yet too small to appear even on a sectional synoptic chart. He stated that “phenomena of this size might well be designated as mesometeorological.” Until a few years later, when Swingle and Rosenberg (1953) used this term in their research on cold fronts, a large number of studies dealing with these phenomena were reported as either micrometeorological or detailed synoptic. Regarding the expanded scope of mesometeorological research integrating radar and special network data, Tepper (1959) has emphasized the importance of research dealing, in detail, with the definition of the characteristic dimensions of the mesoscale.

This research has been sponsored by the U. S. Weather Bureau under Contract Cwb 10201 (NSSP).
