  "term": "Bénard cell",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A pattern of convective cells that forms in a fluid layer heated from below and cooled from above, or when a fluid is subjected to a temperature gradient. The fluid circulates in a regular, hexagonal pattern, with warmer fluid rising in the center and cooler fluid sinking at the edges. This phenomenon is a classic example of self-organization in fluid dynamics and can be observed in atmospheric boundary layers.",
