  "id": "MLC-T-MET-003565",
  "term": "Anticyclonic shear",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A type of wind shear where the wind speed or direction changes in a manner consistent with anticyclonic rotation, meaning a decrease in cyclonic vorticity or an increase in anticyclonic vorticity. This can occur horizontally across a flow or vertically with height. Anticyclonic shear often contributes to atmospheric stability and can inhibit the development of strong convection.",
