Abstract

Passage of tropical squall lines is a common phenomenon in the rain areas of the tropics. These systems form over the land areas and even continue over the ocean for several days. The meso/beta scale (20–200 km) is a common scale of organization of convection within what are called the Meso Convective Systems (MCS). These normally carry long anvil clouds that can extend for several 100 km. MCS carry both stratiform and convective rains.
