Description:

This document presents a review of observations and theory of selected mesoscale phenomena which occur within, but are not necessarily exclusive to, the central region of the United States. This work originally appeared within the theoretical and phenomenological chapters of The National STORM Program, a report which summarized our current understanding and the future directions in the observation, theory, modeling and prediction of mesoscale weather systems. At the suggestion of my university colleagues, I have extracted my contributions from the STORM report and consolidated them into the present document so that they may be used as an educational aid to graduate courses on mesoscale meteorological processes.
