  "term": "Brownian motion",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The random, erratic movement of microscopic particles suspended in a fluid, resulting from their collision with the fast-moving atoms or molecules in the fluid. This motion is a direct consequence of the kinetic energy of the fluid molecules. In the atmosphere, it influences the behavior of aerosols and cloud droplets, particularly for very small particles.",
