  "id": "MLC-T-MET-004029",
  "term": "Bremsstrahlung",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "Electromagnetic radiation generated when a charged particle, such as an electron, is decelerated or deflected upon passing near the strong electric field of an atomic nucleus. This process, also known as braking radiation, produces a continuous spectrum of X-rays. Bremsstrahlung from energetic electrons precipitating into the atmosphere can be detected by high-altitude balloons and satellites.",
