  "id": "MLC-T-MET-003752",
  "term": "Axial symmetry",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The property of an object or system being symmetrical with respect to rotation about a central axis. In meteorology, this concept applies to atmospheric phenomena like hurricanes or tornadoes, where the structure and properties are largely uniform around a central vertical axis. This simplification is often used in idealized models of rotating fluid dynamics.",
