Meteorology B Question Marathon

Most of us now know that the Fujita scale is based on damage, not actual wind speed of a tornado. How many damage indictors are used in the Enhance Fujita Scale?

There are 28 damage indicators.

Where/why did the "SCUD" clould get its name and what two other clouds are often associated with it?

[coolkid]

Isn't it "Scattered Cumulus Under Deck" or something like that, because they hang under cumulonimbus clouds? And they are associated with wall clouds and shelf clouds.

[MMeteorite1]

Right On!

I guess it's my turn to ask a question: What is the scale of atmospheric motion directly below synoptic scale? Name three types of weather phenomena that fall under this category, and tell me approximately how big weather events in this scale are (in kilometers).

micro, meso, synopic, global, so meso below synoptic.   Sea Breeze, Squall lines, MCC's.  5 to several hundred kilometers wide, Synoptic starts at 1000 kilometers, 620 miles wide
