Rango and Hobbs (2005) obtained in situ measurements of tropical convective systems.

Most mesoscale convective systems develop overnight and continue their lifespan through the next day.

Mesoscale convective systems bring 30 to 70 percent of the annual warm season rainfall to the Plains.

MCVs can persist for up to 2 days after its parent mesoscale convective system has dissipated.

While not always the case, it is usually associated with a mesoscale convective system.

The convective system moved west-northwest at 10 knots, shadowing Pamela.

Terrestrial weather occurs almost exclusively in the lower part of the atmosphere, and serves as a convective system for redistributing heat.

Mesoscale convective systems can spawn surface lows which are initially warm core.

These storms are have a warm core, like other mesoscale convective systems.

During the summer and early fall, mesoscale convective systems can move into the area from Canada and the Great Lakes.
