Description should include the following concepts:

A microburst is a strong downdraft that normally occurs over horizontal distances of 1 nautical mile (NM) or less and vertical distances of less than 1,000 feet.
Despite its small horizontal scale, an intense microburst could induce windspeeds greater than 100 knots and downdrafts as strong as 6,000 feet per minute.
