  "id": "MLC-T-MET-003689",
  "term": "Atmospheric thermodynamics",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The application of thermodynamic principles to understand energy transformations and phase changes within the Earth's atmosphere. It examines processes such as heating, cooling, condensation, and evaporation, which drive weather phenomena and atmospheric circulation. Key concepts include latent heat, adiabatic processes, and atmospheric stability, often represented on thermodynamic diagrams like skew-T log-P charts.",
