  "term": "Bent-back occlusion",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A type of occluded front where the cold front wraps around the low-pressure center and extends backward, often appearing as a hook shape on weather maps. This occurs when the cold air behind the cold front overtakes the warm front, lifting the warm air mass completely off the surface. It is a feature associated with mature and decaying extratropical cyclones.",
