چکیده
Through three examples we illustrate some of the concepts and ingredients required for pattern formation at mesoscopic scales. Two examples build on microscopic models where mesoscopic patterns emerge from homogeneous ground states driven into instability by external forcing. In contrast, the third example builds on a mesoscopic phenomenological Ginzburg-Landau type model of solid-solid structural phase transitions. Here, mesoscopic textures emerge as a result of competing length scales arising from the constraints of elastic compatibility.

Analysis of the Mesoscale Convective Systems Characteristics in West of Iran Case Study: April 23, 2004
In Iran the issue of occurring natural disasters, particularly mesoscale convective systems. They are important on one hand, because of their increasing intimidations and causing damages and on the other hand, because of their increasing abundance, time of duration, and happening. Therefore life cycle, constituton condition and mesoscale convective systems features in west of Iran using satelli...
متن کامل15 Years of Satellite Altimetry and Mesoscale Ocean Dynamics
The paper provides a review of recent results on mesoscale ocean dynamics derived from satellite altimetry. Since 1992, we have had an unprecedented 15 year high-resolution monitoring of the ocean mesoscale field. Altimetry is often used in mesoscale studies in synergy with other remote sensing techniques and in-situ data. This global, high-resolution data set has allowed oceanographers to quan...
متن کاملInferring Mesoscale Models of Neural Computation
Recent years have seen dramatic progress in the development of techniques for measuring the activity and connectivity of large populations of neurons in the brain. However, as these techniques grow ever more powerful—allowing us to even contemplate measuring every neuron in entire brains—a new problem arises: how do we make sense of the mountains of data that these techniques produce? Here, we ...
متن کاملEffective Mesoscale, Short-Range Ensemble Forecasting
This study developed and evaluated a short-range ensemble forecasting (SREF) system with the goal of producing useful, mesoscale forecast probability (FP). Real-time, 0 to 48-h SREF predictions were produced and analyzed for 129 cases over the Pacific Northwest. Eight analyses from different operational forecast centers were used as initial conditions (ICs) for running the Fifth-Generation Penn...
متن کاملComplexity at mesoscopic lengthscale
Modern materials are often complex in the structure at mesoscale. The method of pair-density function (PDF) is a powerful tool to characterize mesoscopic structure, bridging short- and long-range structures.
