The term mesoscale is a size scale referring to weather systems smaller than synoptic scale systems but larger than storm-scale systems. Horizontal dimensions generally range from around 50 miles to several hundred miles. Squall lines, MCCs, and MCSs are examples of mesoscale weather systems. Composite satellite image showing the progress of a hurricane weather system approaching the east coast of America Weather comprises all the various phenomena that occur in the atmosphere of a planet. ... synoptic literally means an overall view - hence Synoptic Gospels. ... A mile is any of several units of distance, or, in physics terminology, of length. ... A squall or squall line is a line of thunderstorms with a common leading convection line, or mesocyclone, which tends to create a powerful gust front. ...

Mesoscale can be further divided to subclasses
Meso-gamma 2-20 km, deals with phenomena like Thundestrorm convection, complex terrain flows (at the edge to micro-scale, also known as storm-scale)
Meso-beta 20-200 km deals with phenomena like sea breezes
Meso-alpha 200-2000 km fronts, deals with phenomena like low pressure systems, at the edge of synoptic scale
This formalism was used to study the mesoscale structure of nitrogen adsorbed films as a function of the relative pressure and of the pore radius R of MCM-41 type materials of pore widths from 3 to 10 nm.
Mesoscale simulation techniques based on dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) provide new capabilities for predicting hydrodynamic properties of what has recently become known as "soft condensed matter", including binary and ternary amphiphilic (surfactant containing) fluids, colloids and polymers.
The mesoscale approach was also used to evaluate the mechanical properties of porous glasses, as a function of the size of the pores and their fraction volume.
