アメッシュ etymology


There is a weather app called アメッシュ. I get that the first part of the word is
雨「あめ」, but what's the meaning of the suffix 〜ッシュ?




アメッシュ (a registered trademark Tokyo Metropolitan Government), refers to [the
system](http://tokyo-ame.jwa.or.jp/en/index.html) which tells us how much
rainfall is observed at each location in the metropolitan area.

The data is given in the form of grid, or _mesh_ , consisting of 150m*150m
squares (cf. [Tokyo Amesh/About Tokyo Amesh](http://tokyo-
ame.jwa.or.jp/en/amesh/kansoku.html)) . Apparently this is where -ッシュ comes
from.
