Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-007216
The branch of meteorology that studies atmospheric phenomena with horizontal scales ranging from a few kilometers to several hundred kilometers, and timescales from minutes to a few hours. This field focuses on understanding and forecasting localized weather events such as thunderstorms, sea breezes, and mountain-valley winds. It bridges the gap between synoptic-scale and microscale meteorology.
