This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: MesoscaleModels, Increased Horizontal Resolution due to smaller Grid Size, Small-scale weather events eg Gust fronts/ outflow boundaries, More Detailed Terrain DB than Global Models, 30 min to 2 days eg used at Atlanta Olympics, Mesoscale Models cover more local events, afternoon wind is shorter timespan, Local Topologies eg City Industry, Increased Horizontal Resolution eg 9 Km models, Non-hydrostatic maps vertical acceleration, Mesoscale Models can be Hydrostatic, Increased Horizontal Resolution eg 81 Km models, shorter timespan typically 30 min to 2 days, Increased Horizontal Resolution eg 1 Km models, Increased Horizontal Resolution allows for better wind prediction, Gust fronts/ outflow boundaries associated with MesoscaleConvective Ccomplexes, Local Topologies stored in More Detailed Terrain DB, Mesoscale Models limited by quality of More Detailed Terrain DB, Small-scale weather events eg Precip, Small-scale weather events eg Clouds, more local events are driven by Local Topologies
