Mesoscale Convective Complexes

Mesoscale Convective Complexes is a mesoscale convective system characterized by a large, circular, and long-lived organization of thunderstorms with a well-defined cold cloud shield in infrared satellite imagery, distinguishable by its size, duration, and structural coherence relative to other convective systems.
