Mesoscale model

From Glossary of Meteorology



mesoscale model

A model designed to simulate mesoscale atmospheric phenomena.

Such models can include analytic solutions of a set of simplified equations governing atmospheric motion, scale models of particular geographic regions, and numerical integrations, including numerical weather prediction models that can resolve mesoscale circulations.
See nonhydrostatic model.
