中文摘要：

中尺度对流涡旋（MCV）是近30 a来中尺度气象学研究的一个热点.经过近30 a的模拟和观测研究,MCV的理论已逐步完善.由于MCV自身的一些特征,MCV可以被看做是联系小尺度的对流活动和大尺度的天气系统的纽带.近十几年来,一些学者已成功地运用MCV来解释有组织的对流活动对热带气旋形成和爆发性温带气旋形成的作用.本文将从多个角度入手,介绍MCV近30 a来的研究进展.

英文摘要：

With nearly thirty years of simulation and observation, MCV, the research frontier in the mesoscale meteorology field, has been gradually completed. For its own characteristics, MCV plays a key role in the relationship between microscale convection and macroscale synoptic systems. In the recent dec- ades, some scholars have successfully explained the organized convection＇s contribution to the genesis of tropical cyclone and explosive extratropical cyclone. This paper aims to introduce advance in researches of MCV in recent thirty years in several aspects.
