| Session Description |
The session "Mesoscale Meteorology and Typhoon" focuses on mesoscale weather phenomena generally from 2 to 2000 km in size, such as mesoscale convective systems (MCSs), squall lines, bow echoes, severe local storms, hail storms, rain and snow storms, rainbands, snowbands, clouds, tornadoes, fronts, low-level jets (LLJs), and local circulation. Many of these mesoscale systems are closely linked to the occurrences of heavy rainfall, flash floods, land slides, gust winds, and other severe weather phenomena, and cause loss in life and properties. Another focus of this sesssion is on typhoon, the most powerful and destructive weather system in our atmosphere. Thus, improving our understanding in typhoons and mesoscale weather systems is vital toward the reduction of damages caused by weather-related hazards. This session welcomes studies on the development, evolution, structure, and dynamics of mesocale weather systems and typhoons, either through observations or numerical sumulations. Studies on their prediction are also welcomed. |
