  "id": "MLC-T-MET-003302",
  "term": "Adiabatically enclosed system",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A thermodynamic system that does not exchange heat or mass with its surroundings. Any changes in temperature within such a system are solely due to work done on or by the system, such as expansion or compression. In atmospheric science, a parcel of air rising or sinking rapidly can be approximated as an adiabatically enclosed system, leading to cooling upon ascent and warming upon descent.",
