Microscale meteorology
Microscale meteorology is the study of atmospheric phenomena smaller than mesoscale, about 1 km or less. These two branches of meteorology are sometimes grouped together as "mesoscale and microscale meteorology" (MMM) and together study all phenomena smaller than synoptic scale; that is they study features generally too small to be depicted on a weather map. These include small and generally fleeting cloud "puffs" and other small cloud features.[1] Microscale meteorology controls the most important mixing and dilution processes in the atmosphere.[2]
