Microscale - the smallest scale of atmospheric motions; smaller than the mesoscale
Microwave - a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths between infrared radiation and radio waves ...
microscale - Atmospheric motions with Lagrangian Rossby numbers greater than 200 or spatial scales 2 km or less.
MICROSCALE The smallest scale of meteorological phenomena that range in size from a few centimeters to a few kilometers. Larger phenomena are classified as mesoscale.
Microscale - A small-sized event that is usually measured in meters and seconds to minutes; a cloud-sized phenomenon; e.g. turbulence, and dust devils.
Microscale - a study of small gusts, eddies and things that last less than an hour, usually. Turbulence, diffusion, and wind shear are examples.
Millibar - an atmospheric pressure of 100 Pascals (Newtons per square metre).
Microscale
Pertaining to meteorological phenomena, such as wind circulations or cloud patterns, that are less than 2 km in horizontal extent.
Microwave ...
Microscale The smallest scale of atmospheric motions.
Millibar(mb) A unit for expressing atmospheric pressure. Sea level pressure is normally close to 1013 mb.
Microscale system The smallest spatial subdivision of atmospheric circulation, such as a tornado.
Microwave Electromagnetic radiation having wavelengths in the 0.1 to 300 mm ranges; used in weather radar.
Microscale winds take place over very short durations of time - seconds to minutes - and spatially over only tens to hundreds of metres.
MICROSCALE - A scaling term for small scaled weather systems. May also be used as a MICRO prefix with other types of words such as in MICROBURST. Often depicts a size of a couple of miles or less. Can also be called SMALL SCALE.
Kolmogorov microscale"Of the three standard turbulence length scales, the one that characterizes the smallest dissipation-scale eddies.
Tornado: Are in the "Microscale Wind System" 0-5 scale. 4. Tornado: Causes: Strong vertical "Vortices" Vertical Suction. 5. Tornado: F Scale: Dr. Fujita: U. Of Chicago. 6. Tornado: Funnel Cloud is a tornado aloft not touching the ground. 7.
This terrain feature is the cause of several small scale, or microscale weather patterns, and can make a world of difference in the weather between Denver and Colorado Springs.
This will lead to a microscale cooling (due to latent heat exchanges as the liquid/ice evaporates), ...

The mesoscale covers the range from a few kilometres to a few tens of kilometres. Scales smaller than the mesoscale are considered microscale processes and those larger, macroscale processes. Often loosely called the local scale.
MICROSCALE The smallest scale of meteorological phenomena, such as turbulence, with life spans of less than a few minutes that affect very small areas and are strongly influenced by local conditions of temperature and terrain.
