Mesoscale Vortices

Mesoscale Vortices is a meteorological phenomenon characterized by a rotating, organized system of winds on the mesoscale, typically ranging from tens to hundreds of kilometers in horizontal extent, that distinguishes itself from larger-scale vortices by its confinement to regional atmospheric processes and its frequent association with convective or orographically forced circulations.
