  "id": "MLC-T-MET-003582",
  "term": "Apparent force",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A fictitious force introduced into Newton's second law of motion to account for the effects of a non-inertial reference frame. These forces arise from the acceleration of the coordinate system itself, rather than from physical interactions. The Coriolis force and centrifugal force are examples of apparent forces in meteorology, arising from Earth's rotation.",
