Mesohigh - A mesoscale high pressure area, usually associated with MCSs or their remnants.
Mesolow (or Sub-synoptic Low) - A mesoscale low-pressure center. Severe weather potential often increases in the area near and just ahead of a mesolow.
MESOHIGH
A small, concentrated area of high pressure that may be created by the cold outflow and rain-cooled air from thunderstorms. It often forms a pseudo cold front or squall line on its leading edges.
Mesohigh A relatively small area of high atmospheric pressure that forms beneath a thunderstorm. It is usually associated with MCSs or their remnants.
SQUALL LINE A narrow band or line of active thunderstorms that is not associated with a cold front. It may form from an outflow boundary or the leading edge of a mesohigh.
recognized unit used by the Atmospheric Environment Service for measuring atmospheric pressure. Abbreviated kPa.

Mesoscale High WindsThese high winds usually follow the passage of organized convective systems and are associated with wake depressions or strong mesohighs.
Its circulation can be larger than the tornado that may develop within it, but not necessarily. Originally a radar term for a rotation signature that met certain criteria, it is best seen on Doppler radar. MESOHIGH ...
