Mesocyclone Structure

Mesocyclone Structure is a meteorological construct that characterizes the three-dimensional organization and kinematic properties of a persistent, rotating updraft within a convective storm, distinguished by its identifiable vorticity profile, vertical extent, and dynamic relationship to storm-scale processes such as supercell development and tornadogenesis.
