Common Remarks

Mesoscale convective complexes (MCCs) are a frequently occurring sub-class of mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) that are widely observed around the globe. These large, long-lasting organized systems are comprised of an ensemble of thunderstorms. They produce a contiguous precipitation area over a relatively large area.
