I see a lot said about MSC's in this weather group, not really sure what
they are or do but I think Les shows a lot of interest in them. Came across
this website:
http://www.meteoliguria.it/fronti_new.html
And it shows MSC's are these the MSC's Les talks about?

Do you mean a Mesoscale Convective System (MCS), Brian ?
If so see http://homepage.ntlworld.com/booty.w....htm#Mesoscale
I could be missing something but I don't quite see how the link you've
provided relates to them.

Hi Jon - 1st my header should say MCS [not MSC !]
The link shows areas [?] of MCS [what ever they are].
I will look at the link you have provided.

Some features on trough lines are marked as MCSs on this satellite analysis.
Many thanks for posting this Brian as there's a link to BOLAM 21km model output inc an archive,with
some excellent stuff.
Les shld also find the 6.5km model output for Northern Italy interesting.
BTW I see CSIP caught the early stages of the 22July small scale MCS (?)-

Ah right, I see what you mean. Not sure I believe them though :-)

Jon.

Fascinating, Northern Italy is something of a hotspot in summer, usw
stormchase tours from Milan to Bologna, anybody?? The composite doesn't show
an mcs imho (but i could be wrong)

The UK 'small scale MCS' sat pic is even more fascinating with the
overshooting top and anvil shield - the radar cross section looks very
similar to the zamg page
http://www.zamg.ac.at/docu/Manual/Sa...CMs/Cb/key.htm i'll stick my neck
out here - that baby was almost certainly an MCS...

Next week: a tornadic supercell and superbolts clobbering football stadiums
in Wearside (:
