  "id": "MLC-T-MET-003257",
  "term": "Acoustic thermometer",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "An instrument that measures air temperature by determining the speed of sound through a specific path in the atmosphere. The speed of sound is directly related to the square root of the absolute temperature of the air. This method offers a non-contact way to measure temperature, often used in conjunction with acoustic anemometers to derive virtual temperature.",
