	NOAA ARL - NOAA Mesoscale Modelers Report
		Important linkages between emissions (both anthropogenic and biogenic) and meteorology including processes governing plume dispersion, dry deposition of pollutants to the surface and emission of organic pollutants from vegetation, and soil NOx emissions are reorganized and performed.
		The meteorology model is expected to show the following characteristics: (a) Faithful representation of atmospheric dynamics; (b) Best estimation of derived meteorological parameters that are essential for air quality predictions (e.g., mixing height, momentum and heat flux, etc.); and (c) Scalability to handle different resolution, grid system, and topography.
		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.

	Schultz & Schumacher: The Use and Misuse of Conditional Symmetric Instability (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The relative roles of synoptic and mesoscale processes in the initiation of gravitational and slantwise convection is poorly known, compounding the difficulty in understanding convective initiation (Ziegler and Rasmussen 1998).
		Whether the trailing precipitation region behind a mesoscale convective system, oftentimes referred to as the stratiform region, is characterized by stratiform or convective precipitation is being debated.
		As discussed in section 7, the addition of slantwise-convective parameterizations to mesoscale numerical models dramatically improved the forecast of the intensity and areal extent of precipitation, in at least one case (Lindstrom and Nordeng 1992).
