Encyclopedia > Outflow boundary

An outflow boundary is a storm-scale or mesoscale boundary separating thunderstorm-cooled air (outflow) from the surrounding air; similar in effect to a cold front, with passage marked by a wind shift and usually a drop in temperature. Outflow boundaries may persist for 24 hours or more after the thunderstorms that generated them dissipate, and may travel hundreds of miles from their area of origin. New thunderstorms often develop along outflow boundaries, especially near the point of intersection with another boundary (cold front, dry line, another outflow boundary, etc.; see triple point). The term mesoscale is a size scale referring to weather systems smaller than synoptic scale systems but larger than storm-scale systems. ... A rolling thundercloud over Enschede, The Netherlands. ...
