centimetric
Measured in centimeters
Centimetric describes something measured in centimeters or having dimensions on the centimeter scale.
The term appears most often in technical and scientific contexts, particularly in radar technology, where centimetric radar operates at wavelengths measured in centimeters rather than meters.
The centimetric wavelength band proved ideal for detecting small objects.
British spelling retains the -re ending as centimetric, while American usage sometimes shifts toward centimeteric.
