mesoscale climate

Mesoscale climate refers to weather patterns and atmospheric phenomena that occur over moderate-sized areas, typically ranging from a few kilometers to hundreds of kilometers across, lasting from hours to days. It sits between local weather (like daily temperature changes) and larger regional or global climate patterns. Examples include thunderstorms, land-sea breezes, and mountain-valley winds. These local-to-regional events are influenced by both large-scale climate conditions and immediate local features, making mesoscale climate important for understanding localized weather impacts and short-term climate variability.
