	MESOSCALE DYNAMICS
		Mesoscale "regional" weather that is not due to coastlines is usually attributable to orography.
		In preliminary work, idealized experiments with the nonhydrostatic, 2-dimensional, anelastic model have shown that the largest change in stationary mountain waves occurs not as condensation or evaporation is introduced, but as the condensate is allowed to fall out as precipitation.
		The scheme to be included was developed with the 2-D nonhydrostatic anelastic model and is a standard treatment, except for the inclusion of all dynamical forcing terms for moisture and heat in the semi-implicit condensation/evaporation step.

		Therefore, a mesocyclone should not be considered a visually-observable phenomenon (although visual evidence of rotation, such as curved inflow bands, may imply the presence of a mesocyclone).
		Mesoscale - Size scale referring to weather systems smaller than synoptic-scale systems but larger than storm-scale systems.
		Outflow Boundary - A storm-scale or mesoscale boundary separating thunderstorm-cooled air (outflow) from the surrounding air; similar in effect to a cold front, with passage marked by a wind shift and usually a drop in temperature.

	NOAA ARL - NOAA Mesoscale Modelers Report
		All groups were asked what mesoscale modeling topic would be most valuable for NOAA to work on, irregardless of resources.
		While many labs are using mesoscale models to support individual goals, the tools being developed were often similar (for example: improved methods to parameterize the boundary layer, visualization of model outputs).
		The comparison results suggested that a noticeable improvement was detected in the puff simulation results of the centroid trajectory when mesoscale wind fields developed using FDDA were used to characterize the time and space varying wind field versus using mesoscale wind fields determined diagnostically from the available hourly surface and twice-daily upper air observations.

		The main objective of this course is to develop a comprehensive understanding of mesoscale meteorology and the dynamics governing it.
		In particular, the course will emphasize differences and interactions among mesoscale, synoptic and convective processes, and discuss requirements for observing, analyzing and forecasting mesoscale systems.
		Undergraduates may choose this option but are also welcome to take Option B. In both options your project must be within the general subject of mesoscale meteorology, and should be chosen to suit your individual interests.

		Although prognostic atmospheric models have been used routinely for many years for synoptic and mesoscale applications, their computational demands have, until recently, limited their use in predicting mesoscale and microscale circulations and dispersion in complex terrain.
		Mesoscale modeling studies contribute to the understanding of lower atmospheric processes and the findings of these studies are applicable to DOE missions including emergency preparedness and response concerns, air quality issues, and the relationship between regional and global climate change.
		Recognizing the need to accurately describe mesoscale circulations and their effect on the dispersion of air pollutants, our approach is to rigorously compare model results with observational data whenever possible.
