Kilomegacycle
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-010583
An obsolete unit of frequency equal to one billion (10^9) cycles per second. It was historically used in fields like radar meteorology to describe the frequency of electromagnetic waves. The modern SI unit for this quantity is the gigahertz (GHz), with one kilomegacycle being equivalent to one gigahertz.
