Microburst Detection

Microburst Detection is a radar echo classification method that identifies localized, short-lived downdrafts in convective storms characterized by strong, divergent winds at the surface, distinguishing it from broader storm-scale identification techniques by focusing on small-scale, high-impact wind phenomena.
