Features: Based on the summary of more than ten years of teaching practice and scientific research, this book takes the development trends of mesoscale meteorology at home and abroad as its guiding idea, incorporates recent new research findings, and considers the needs of operational development. It comprehensively summarizes the principles of the occurrence and development of mesoscale weather systems and the forecasting methods for mesoscale weather. Following the principle of combining synoptic meteorology and dynamics, this book focuses on mesoscale atmospheric motion as its main object, organically integrates various aspects of mesoscale meteorology, presents clear physical concepts, and explains complex theories in an accessible manner. It emphasizes the connection between theory and practice. This book has been approved by the Ministry of Education as a key national textbook for higher education under the "Nineth Five-Year Plan," and can be used as a textbook for atmospheric science majors and related disciplines in universities and colleges. It can also serve as a reference for researchers and operational personnel in meteorology, oceanography, aviation, agriculture, forestry, water conservancy, and environmental protection.
