please i want some information about Mesoscale and synoptic scale

[edit] broader definition needed

The current Wikipedia definition of the term "mesoscale" is specific to meteorological systems. I'd like to suggest that the definition be broadened to refer to any system governed by lengthscales that span or fall between traditional length scales. This same term is often used in the area of nanotechnology to refer to processes falling in-between molecular and continuum lengthscales.

The term mesoscale is extensively used in systems biology also as that scale which lies between micro and macro scales - the term cannot therefore exclusively be reserved for meteorological science only.

Suggestion seconded. "Mesoscale" also appears in the constituitive modeling of materials as a similar sort of between-micro-and-macro level of analysis. Robin Z 17:13, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
