  "term": "Blowing sand",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "Sand particles lifted from the ground by wind to a height of at least two meters, impairing horizontal visibility.

The sand particles are generally larger and heavier than dust, leading to a lower maximum height of suspension.",
