    Mesoscale Lows
    These include features like mesocyclones, squall lines, and polar lows. Polar lows, though small, can exhibit rapid intensification due to intense surface cooling beneath the inversion layer, sometimes exceeding the relative intensification rates of tropical cyclones when normalized by their scale factor $\lambda$ (where $\lambda < 500 \text{ km}$).
