Recent discoveries about the structure of ice films in astrophysical conditions at the mesoscale, which is the size just above the molecular level, were discussed at a recent workshop organised by the European Science Foundation (ESF) and co-chaired by Cartwright alongside C. Ignacio Sainz-Diaz, also from the IACT.

One of the challenges of forecasting snowstorms like this is pinpointing the locations of small-scale intense snow bands, known more formally as "mesoscale bands" because they occur on such a small-scale, ahead of time.

john commented on the word mesoscale
"Mesoscale Meteorology is the study of weather systems smaller than synoptic scale systems but larger than microscale and storm-scale cumulus systems. Horizontal dimensions generally range from around 5 miles to several hundred miles. Examples of mesoscale weather systems are sea breezes, squall lines, and mesoscale convective complexes."
