UNDERSTANDING PRE MONSOON WEATHER

Weather occurs at different scales of space and time. The four meteorological scales are: microscale, mesoscale, synoptic scale, and global scale. Meteorologists often focus on a specific scale in their work. In general, larger the horizontal length scale, larger is the time scale. In this blog we will have a look at Meso scale systems which affect aviation and aviators in general. The Meso scale systems like Thunderstorms are hazardous to aviation in various ways. Tropical Convection is Mesoscale in Nature i.e. Horizontal scale of ~ 10 sq km, Vertical extent…
