Mesoscale process

Going along with these spatial scales, we can define temporal scales as well. Micrometeoro-logic processes tend to be important for times less than an hour, mesoscale processes, up to about a day, and synoptic scale, a few days or more.

It is natural that this book could not reflect all the problems of the Black Sea. Meanwhile, its content makes clear the objectives of the future research. In the temporal range, they extend from the mean condition of the oceanographic fields, which are studied best of all, toward both to mesoscale processes and to the interannual variability of the condition of the marine ecosystem. Among the wide spectrum of urgent problems of the Black Sea we should emphasize the following.

During the combination of the partial solutions, a major pivotal decision needs to be made is to determine at what scales to implement the processing tasks related phenomena. It can be microscale, or mesoscale or hybridscale (both microscale and mesoscale). Needless to say, it is the corresponding concepts and principles generated for the variations and manipulations of the processing tasks related phenomena that determine the scales of the intensified process and equipment. As a consequence, microscale, mesoscale or hybridscale devices and units are synthesized by the combination of the partial solutions. Thereby, the intensified microstructured devices, the intensified mesoscale process units, or the intensified hybridscale devices are obtained as the conceptual design alternatives from the conceptual process synthesis. The evaluation of PI results is often self-evident as long as the technical feasibility of the intensification concepts and principles can be verified. Nevertheless, once intensified process alternatives have been identified, the further detailed optimization can be performed. 

Underlying all continuum and mesoscale descriptions of shock-wave compression of solids is the microscale. Physical processes on the microscale control observed dynamic material behavior in subtle ways sometimes in ways that do not fit nicely with simple preconceived macroscale ideas. The repeated cycle of experiment and theory slowly reveals the micromechanical nature of the shock-compression process. 

Three major intellectual frontiers for chemical engineers in bioprocessing are the design of bioreactors for the culture of plant and animal cells, the development of control systems along with the needed biosensors and analytical instraments, and the development of processes for separating and purifying products. A critical component in each of these three research areas is the need to relate the micro-scale to the mesoscale.

Precursors with a distinctive tendency to undergo molecular self-assembly processes (i.e., even without the presence of SDAs), for instance driven by n-stacking or hydrogen bonds, also facilitate the onset of mesoscale periodicity in templated synthesis approaches. 

Local winds. Local (mesoscale) circulations and winds such as breezes, mountain-valley circulation, slope winds, foehns, boras, etc., along with the atmospheric processes on synoptic scale, play an important role in the formation of the climate on the coasts of the Black Sea.
