The effectiveness of three microburst models in estimating the downdraft from horizontal velocity measurements is assessed. The development of the models and their characteristics are discussed. The simplest model, a linear one, works well for altitudes below 200 m and near the microburst core. A ring-vortex model and an empirical model give the best overall results. The former is the most complex, requiring four variables to define it. The empirical model uses three variables.
