    Abstract: A particular class of weather system, the Mesoscale Convective Complex (MCC) is identified, defined, and contrasted with other types of convective weather systems. It is found that MCC systems frequently occur over the central United States, grow to tremendous areal extent, and often persist for periods exceeding 12 h. In addition to widespread beneficial rains, a wide variety of severe convective weather phenomena attends these systems. The development and evolution of MCC systems is not explicitly predicted by operational numerical models even though they are shown to be organized in a distinctly non-random mode on scales that cannot be considered subgrid. The MCC is a convectively driven weather system whose physics are not yet understood, much less incorporated into operational parameterization schemes. A preliminary conceptual model of the life cycle of these systems is presented using enhanced, infrared satellite imagery in conjunction with conventional surface and radar data. The outlook for further study and ultimately for the prediction of MCC systems is encouraging since their time and space scales ?coupled with their frequent occurrence over the central United States?make them highly amenable to detailed investigation.
