The Third Conference on Mesoscale Processes 20-26 August 1987, Vancouver, B.C., Canada.

Reports on the Third Conference on Mesoscale Processes, held in conjunction with the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) Meetings. Session topics were: Flow response to prescribed heating and entrainment; Organization of convection on the mesoscale; Boundary layer effects on the mesoscale; Mesoscale convective systems; Convection and mesoscale waves; Mesoscale waves and instabilities; Modelling and parameterization of mesoscale organized convection; Frontal rainbands; Thermally and topographically forced flows; Instruments and techniques for mesoscale analysis; Fronts and cyclones; Frontal circulations; Fronts interacting with topography; Cyclones; Stratiform precipitation and mesovortex development.
