Beta drift

{
  "id": "MLC-T-MET-003894",
  "term": "Beta drift",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The movement of a tropical cyclone due to the variation of the Coriolis parameter with latitude, known as the beta effect. This effect induces a westward and poleward component to the storm's motion, even in the absence of an environmental steering flow. The magnitude of beta drift depends on the storm's intensity and size.",
