  "id": "MLC-T-MET-003998",
  "term": "Boundary layer separation",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A phenomenon where a fluid flow detaches from a solid surface, typically occurring when the fluid encounters an adverse pressure gradient or a sharp change in surface geometry. In meteorology, this can refer to the detachment of air flow from terrain features, leading to the formation of eddies or recirculation zones. It significantly impacts local wind patterns and pollutant dispersion.",
