  "id": "MLC-T-MET-003463",
  "term": "Altimeter equation",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A mathematical relationship that describes the conversion of atmospheric pressure to altitude, based on the properties of the standard atmosphere. This equation relates pressure at a given height to a reference pressure and temperature, often assuming a constant lapse rate. It forms the basis for calibrating pressure altimeters used in aviation and meteorology.",
