Synoptic and mesoscale meteorology encompasses what we normally associate with "weather," such as thunderstorms, tornadoes, local weather patterns, hurricanes, tropical convection, warm and cold fronts, high and low pressure systems, and jet streams. Research in this area can involve making field measurements, analyzing data, and conducting computer simulations. The ultimate goal of most research in this area is to improve weather forecasts and severe weather warnings.
