Mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) describe organized grou**s of thunderstorms in
the tropics and mid-latitudes that span thousands of square kilometres. While recognized for …

This paper discusses common modes of mesoscale convective organization. Using 2-km
national composite reflectivity data, the authors investigated linear mesoscale convective …

The spatiotemporal variability and three-dimensional structures of mesoscale convective
systems (MCSs) east of the US Rocky Mountains and their large-scale environments are …

This research applies an automated mesoscale convective system (MCS) segmentation,
classification, and tracking approach to composite radar reflectivity mosaic images that cover …

An event-based method of analyzing the measurements from multiple satellite sensors is
presented by using observations of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) …

The primary objective of this study was to estimate the percentage of US tornadoes that are
spawned annually by squall lines and bow echoes, or quasi-linear convective systems …

This research uses image classification and machine learning methods on radar reflectivity
mosaics to segment, classify, and track quasi-linear convective systems (QLCSs) in the …

Based on mosaics of composite radar reflectivity patterns during the 2-yr period of 2008–09,
a total of 96 squall lines were identified in east China with a maximum frequency of …

An investigation of several hundred mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) during the warm
seasons (April–August) of 1996–98 is presented. Circular and elongated MCSs on both the …
