About the course

The American Meteorological Society Glossary of Meteorology defines the mesoscale as, ?pertaining to atmospheric phenomena having horizontal scales ranging from a few to several hundred kilometers.? That characterizes features with sizes ranging from downtown Milwaukee to the entire state of Wisconsin On the mesoscale, atmospheric forces associated with pressure variations, curved air flow, and the Earth?s rotation, are all important to varying degrees.

　　Some of the highest-impact weather phenomena, including thunderstorms, squall lines, tropical storms and hurricanes, intense snow bands, and even the placement of the rain-snow transition line, are mesoscale features. So too are more benign features such as the lake breeze that cools near-lakeshore areas in spring and summer. For many in the field, experiences with a mesoscale feature at a young age spurred a lifelong interest in meteorology. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
