From CSU-CHILL

A downburst is created by an area of significantly rain-cooled air that, after reaching ground level, spreads out in all directions producing strong winds. Unlike winds in a tornado, winds in a downburst are directed outwards from the point where it hits land or water. Macrobursts are downbursts larger scales. Downbursts create vertical wind shear or microburst which is dangerous to aviation.
